Hi Scotch,  My firsrst thought was a bad enough seizure to cause ennoxia (spelling?) oxigen deprivation, it can cause small blood vessles to burst annd apear like pin pricks in the skin. If you stopped breathing durring a seizure than it is a possibility. So explains the muscles and possible tongue swelling and possible bite (blood).  But as I think on it more....  It also could be signs of a sever allergic reaction.  On the evening preceeding these two events lets see Christmass and lent, did you eat or come in contact with anything that you don't everyday..,  I developed a bad allergy to Mollusk's at thirty and terrigon at 25.  Just an Idea.  Neurologically mayber a 3 day EEG or Video EEG for 5 days with MRI with Epilepsy proticol would give more info.  Have you hurt your head in the last few years?  Get the best med oppinion you can and good luck.  sally

I wouldn't rule it out completely and would go to the brainwave thing when you have the chance. I have no idea what a pin prick would be, but waking up with a bit (sometimes cut) tongue and a pair of legs that almost hurt to stand up and walk on sound familiar. Esp. if the muscles in your arms are sore too. Also if you were drinking heavily throughout the day, or vice versa, just gone through things with little food or water. It could just be infrequent, lifestyle induced seizures. A couple friends have just had 2-3 during their lifetime with no symptoms. One takes a negligible dose of Lamoctal now as a precaution but neither were diagnosed with Epilepsy.

It sounds like you may have been biten by a venomous insect.Pin-point blood spots are suspicious!
