Hi Bruins,
It sounds like you had 2 types of sz. during your test. When you had the tingling and weird feeling in your stomach that sounds like a simple partial (aura) sz. and with the jerking around it may have been a grand mal or it could have just been a complex partial sz. and your body was jerking around I'm not sure. Either way the e.e.g. should show what area of the brain is triggering the sz. if it doesn't then it will prove any damage is to deep in your brain to show on the e.e.g. and you need to have the PET and SPECT scans then. I often will feel tired and sometimes I get headaches after a sz. it's all part of the sz. I have found if I stay awake the sleepy feeling goes away faster. I wish you only the best of luck and May God Bless You!
