Hi Mimir,

Welcome to the forum! What you are describing sounds like a simple parital sz. also known as a (aura sz.). I get them often right before I have a absence or complex partial sz. I have found that the moment this starts to tighten up all the muscles in my body and it will stop the sz. also if I look at a dark color this will stop the sz. also.
You are correct CP and epilepsy do sometimes connect with each other. I have worked with students that have CP in public school so I understand where you are coming from.
As Darlene mentioned keep track of your sz. and also take note of when you start and stop your monthly cycle because often hormones changing each month will trigger sz. for many women. I found that taking the drug Diamox 5 days before my cycle helped reduce my sz. greatly.
Be sure to see an Epileptologist also they have a lot more experience in epilepsy than many neurologist do. Here's wishing you only the best and May God Bless You!
