Hi Kloser2fine,

Welcome to the forum! What you are describins sounds like a aura (simple partial) seizure that is leading into an Absence (petit mal) seizure. I've had this type of seizure for 40 yrs. now but I never vomit.

Often a person can have a CAT scan, MRI, or e.e.g and it won't show any problems and that's because the damage is in to deep in the brain for any of the tests to show.
Start keeping track of when you have any of these possible seizures and write them down on a calendar stating what time the seizure happened along with a description of the seizure by doing this you may see a pattern in your seizures as to what day's of the month or what time of the day/night you are more likely to have any seizures.
I've seen many different neurologist over the yrs. but I found I got the best help seeing an Epileptologist (Dr. specializing in epilepsy) You can find an Epileptologist at a Epilepsy Center which are usually at University or Big Hospitals. I was able to have brains surgery done to help reduce my seizures and I also found out that taking vitamin B12 once a day reduced my seizures a lot so you might want to start taking vitamin B12 once a day to see if it helps you also. Cut back on the carbs and starch foods because they turn into sugar which in turn can trigger seizures. Also cut back on caffeine, I'm only allowed to have 4 cups of caffeine in a day. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue
