Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / August 2003New symptom/problem
Hello everyone, I'm trying to classify my new symptom in the general labels regarding seizures. I've done some web research but wasn't satisfied. While sleeping (it wakes me up) or just going into sleep my hand will slowly clench or my arm will draw up to my chest with my fist slowly clenching. Sometimes my shoulder will clench itself forward.I don't even know if this is related to my seizures being that it happens much slower than myoclonic or simple partials. The duration is about 5 seconds Has anyone had this clenching experience? What is the technical name for it? Cheryl My complex partial fits focus on my right hand and arm because it's damage to the bit of my brain that's associated with that part of me that causes the fits. However, sleeping curled up with one's hands and arms held close to one's chest is also regarded as returning to the foetal position - the posture one has before being born - so it can just be a sign of feeling nervous. Do you remember any dreams you were having just before waking up ? Chris L. > Hello everyone, > I'm trying to classify my new symptom in the general labels regarding > seizures.

I was straight out on my back. It seemed like a weird partial, since the right sided quaking and shaking of my shoulder and latissimus dorsi is one of the typical partials I get. To each his own partial seizure right? ;) Seriously, though, I just needed to hear from someone who has had a similar seizure or has heard of one.
