my husband has been having muscle contractions on left side of his body,his arm and leg become still and his hand is clamed open with fingers curled up and toes curled up in his boots,he says it feels like a seizure but he can see and remember the whole thing,he can feel when these attacks are coming on and they last for about a minute or two, he cannot bear weight on that side or hads no balance..he said its very intense,and he is exhausted after he said its not l ikethe feeling of cramps or spasms.he usually gets them when he does something like pulling cables or moving a barrel..he is having two a day, and has been complaining of dizziness and diorientation, he said sometimes he finds himself unaware of where he is, or even has no idea how to turn on his cell phone..than he realizes after a minute or so.we went to emerg twicw, heart is good,bloodwork good, calcium and electolytes good, he sees a neurolgist in 12 days.just wondering what it might be.

Hi there, just wondered if you ever found out what it was since ive been suffering the same thing for years, my EEG's and blood work are all normal but there is a history of epiliepsy in the family, im so confused so any information will be appreciated.

I too have had similar experience. It is very frustrating not knowing what is going on. The doctors do not help. Please let me know what you have found out.

OMG I have been having a lessened form of this for the past 6 years! Ive tried everything and seen specialists, NOTHING. I cried when I read this since I thought no one else had this. Thank you all for posting here. It happens only to my left side, never my right. My hands and toes curl up and my face tightens only on that left side. I can feel it coming on and if i apply pressure to that side of my body, It happens. If I dont move, sometimes it goes away before occurring. Its embarrassing when it happens in public as sometimes people notice. Ive been calling it my reverse stroke since it only occurs on one side and instead of muscle weakness, its tightness. I cut out all caffeine and that has seemed to lessen the effects but not enough to say its the cause. I will be restarting my search and find answers for all of us.
