Muddines and a Body spasm?

Sat, 07/07/2007 - 12:35
I've been diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Seizures and usually it manifests itself with the intense deja vu and passing out for a couple of seconds. Just this morning however, I had a full body spasm. It was preceded by spaciness and a feeling like I was being slowed by mud. Peculiar because I was sitting with my laptop on my lap at the time. Afterward my wife said the computer had fallen to the floor. I do not recall this happening. Then I was really sweaty and it felt like the back of my brain was heavy. Some of these symptoms I know are "normal" - sweatiness, forgetting things, spaciness. Also I've read about others having a simple muscle spasm, but can anyone elucidate on this experience of a full body spasm?
