seizures,head pain, numbness

I will try to short-form my symtoms.... this problem has been going on for over 15 years, and no doctor can find out what is going on. These symtoms only happen after I have been sitting. Also increases with the heat.
When I stand up, my lower part of my legs start to feel like they are going numb. Lately, the upper part of my body (shoulders and arms) are going numb, and yet painful.  
If I bend my body in half (looking at the ground) the pain and numbness starts to relieve me.
But, Iately, I am getting these symptoms everyday, and often.  If I am on the way to the bathroom to relieve my bladder, often I do not get there in time...thats when the seizures start, my arms start to go every which way..(cannot hold onto the wall, or door) and I fall down, and my bladder releases.
After I have such terrible pressure in my head.  Also....my ears hurt.  There is a whossing sound in my head, (Like the sounds around me are going in and out )....
I have a prolactin problem for years, yet no pituatary tumor....have had CT Scans, MRI's and nothing is showing up.
One more thing...often when I am looking at something, my eyes dont seem to focus, its a funny feeling, hard to explain...like when I look left...eg.... my eyes feel like its just not looking left....like a time warp.....sorry dont know how to explain.
I am extremely hot....and these increase in warmer temperatures.  
I have tried everything...what are the doctors missing?  My pg....seems to have given up on me!!!
The last specialist I went to asked:  Can you have a seizure for me now?????  They have ruled out MS.

I was so upset, as was my husband, when the specialist asked me if I could have one for her then. It really discouraged me, after that.  They have not put me in the hospital for any monitoring. As a matter of fact, I think now my own Doctor is so busy with his other patients, that he has given up on offering anything at this point. He has been such a good doctor, I do not want to give up  on  him. I just had another spell, and when I tried to start the microwave, my right arm started flying around everywhere......I am at a loss,

I am sorry to hear about your health problems it's very frustrating I know. Has the doctor's done any seizure monitoring on you. I know when my husband stared having partial tremors they put him in the hospital to monitor the seizures. Have they done any MRI's on your brain. I would keep looking for a Dr. and don;t give up. That is ridiculous that the Dr would ask you to show him your seizure get another Dr.

Best of Luck
