Sorry to hear that batbite! When you say seizures, do you mean hypnic jerks (a sudden jolt/muscle jerk as you're falling asleep) or is it more like an epileptic fit?

I had a bad reoccurrence of hypnic jerks after taking diphenhydramine (nyquil type sleep aid). Definitely extremely sensitive to even OTC/herbal remedies. What type of sleep aids do you take? Klonopin is the only sure way I've found to stop this type of myoclonus, but taking it on a regular basis is a slipperly slope...the alternative has been months of insomnia. My neurologist reckons all these fasciculations/hypnic jerks are perfectly normal and harmless...I think he forgot to add; 'except if you're a healthy human being.'

I opted out of the spinal tap, after he mentioned that there might only be a 5-20% (lower than the chance of side effects) of finding the inflammation he was looking for, in order to justify the steroid treatment.
