Hi,
My advice to you is to see a neurologist. I'm beginning to wonder if you aren't having myoclonic seizures since there's a lot of twitching and jerking going on. Take note if this happens early in the morning when you first get up or right after you go to bed because that's when myoclonic seizures happen the most.
Often if a person with epilepsy has been sick it will cause them to have more seizures because of the body chemistry change while being sick. I always have more seizures when I have a cold or a virus of some kind.
Stress and lack of sleep are the number one causes of seizures! Stress will affect the hormones triggering seizures and being tired will cause seizures also so try to cut back on the stress for you own sake.
You might want to check out this web page to read about different types of seizure. http://www.emedicine.com/neuro/index.shtml#seizures
Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Sue
