hi,
You still may be a nut, but it is not related to the seizures. lol.
normal eeg is not uncommon. It sounds like seizure activity.
Keep a journal of all the activity. give a copy to your doc. that makes it easier for both.
the menopause is an issue to take up with the OB/GYN. there are some connections with hormones and seizures.
Beleive in yourself. What you feel is real. Education is the key to understanding this stuff.
You are not alone.

You need to see a neurologist to rule out seizures. Menapause and the change it brings hormone-wise can sometimes trigger seizures/epilepsy. Tell him/her what you're experiencing (write this out ahead of time). Keep a seizure diary that includes the date, time, and anything else you can manage to remember. Take someone with you to keep notes and add their observations/thoughts. That's the best advice I can give you. Get a referral from your gp (general physician). Good luck!
