Can someone explain to me what type of seizure I'm having if my right shoulder repeatedly raised and lowers multiple times for about a minute or two? Sometimes it's the right side of my back (muscle) that tenses and releases so much so that I jerk backwards. I could really use some clarification. Thanks in advance!
Hi Stacy you are having a Myclonic Seizure. I have them they are really quick, & sometimes you don't even know you're having it. I hope I answered your question clearly.
I also agree it could be myoclonic seizures.
The current medication I take has relieved me o seizure activity for the past four years.
Before that I would have twitches in my right hand at the same time like clock work.
Then they would disappear for few weeks and then return again.
Have a blessed day
Not being a doctor, they could be myoclonic seizures.
Look up webpage.

Good luck on your studies

I have the same problem with my arms or legs, sometimes even my mouth. Occasionally stare off for few seconds. I thought they were small seizures at first, after 3 EMU's, learned I also have psychogenic non epileptic seizures, which is symptoms of anxiety that manifest into a seizure, but doesn't show up on the EEG brain waves activity. Learned from Dr alot of.people with epilepsy many also experience psychogenic non epileptic seizures. Hope this helps a little. Try watch your stress and and anxiety. See what your thinking or feeling when you have those twitching events. I'm still learning
I know that the medical field has names for the names for them that goes with the condition and such, but I call it a seizure as I see it, call it and label it whatever, it's a seizure to me , either way, but , I get by in my life with, a bummer sometimes, but got by, Im' just one that keeps going, my opinion
