Please try to avoid needing a diagnostic term. Epilepsy is a very broadly used term . My doctor said my seizures were not epilepsy but did not define them otherwise. I understand you desire to not be diagnosed as epileptic. It has a bad history.
If you are not pursuing other angles, a specialist in integrative medicine would be good. If you have a referral from your acupuncturist, you should give it a try. Just try to do as mrsD said and go easy with the list of symptoms. There is another term doctors use, A cyberchondriac. It is a hypochondriac who researches and defines their symptoms and possible disease on the internet. I got somatoform written in my medical record and struggled to get any doctor to pay attention ever since. Give some general symptoms and let the doctor ask the questions before you say anything else. Let the doctor discover your symptoms, if you can.
