Myoclonus? Epilepsy? Too many buzz words!

I'm not alone! I was reading back through the archives of these forums, and came across a story about a girl in her early twenties who sounded as though she was experiencing the same thing as me. Strangely this gave me huge comfort, and has prompted me to finally post something. For the last couple of years I've been been experiencing twitches/jerks through my entire body. Sometimes they're mild, only barely a ripple through the muscles and a slight jerk, but there have been really scary ones when they're very violent, arms and legs go flying, chest tightens, possible eyes close (I'm not sure, I'm too focused on the fact my limbs suddenly want to dance). My boyfriend has often told me to go to the doctor over them and worries a great deal, so they must be fairly weird to witness. I did go to the doctor in November of last year (2006), who referred me to a neurosurgon, but due to my lack of insurance, I have to wait til late 2008 for my appointment. One of my main problems is the fact that the jerks are so spread out and unpredictable. This is making me confused, as everything I've read about myoclonus implies that it's fairly constant. Mine don't fit that pattern, sometimes I can have several in an hour or spread over a day, other times I have only a single one, and I don't have them every day. In fact, they're spread out all over the place, I can't detect a pattern. I noticed some people talking about auras, and I know that many times I can feel a weird sensation beforehand, which tells me one's probably about to happen. I have no idea exactly what is going on, everything I read is almost right, except for some details. Sometimes bright lights (not necessarily strobing, but certainly flashes, for example when a movie depicts lightning directly on screen) cause a couple, sometimes they come out of the blue, or at least I don't notice a trigger. I don't normally get them in the morning, as with JME, I don't get them with caffeine (I mainline coke and have done for years), and as mentioned above, they don't happen most of the time, they're quite spread out. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone, and could you give me some idea of what's to come, in terms of what the doctors will say? I feel a little hypochondriacal (such a cool word) posting on here when I'm almost certain it can't be epilepsy (though I think that's more because I associate epilepsy with falling down, convulsing and losing consciousness, even though I know there are many many more forms than that) and I'm worried I'm blowing a silly little thing into a huge thing. However, whenever I get hit by another one, I get freaked all over again because it's quite scary. Advice would be appreciated! (Also, sometimes I think medical websites should be password protected so people can't scare themselves to death)
