I have never been given a 100% "We are super sure" diagnosis, so for now - I like to roll with having a Seizure Disorder pending actual diagnosis.

However, I had an "Episode" of sorts; I will explain better below.

I had started off having tingling, and then a bit of needle-like pain in my pinky and ring finger on my right hand. This had eventually made it to numbness, and started to 'attack' several other locations of my body. The only other person I'd been able to speak with that day was a friend of mine with MS - whom also has similar 'episodes'.

The entire attack went on for around 45 minutes to an hour. I had eventually fallen asleep and woke up feeling perfectly fine. My Neurologist told me this was a seizure, however, I already have a seizure problem and mine come in so many forms I have lost count. I have a variety of focal seizures, along with drops, etc.

You should, if your blood work comes back negative, explore other tests available. I'd suggest having an EEG done.

Hope this helps, and don't be afraid - it may be nothing at all.

Make sure you update this!
