My husband has these type of episodes. Actually he has two tyes of episodes -- we call them shaking spells if he doesn't lose consciousness and "seizure-like" episodes when he loses consciousness and ocassionally loss of bladder control as well.Don't know what meds you are on, but the only thing that works for my husband is IV Ativan 1/2 or 1 mg at a time through his PICC line 4-6 times a day when he has these shaking episodes. His "seizures" are much less frequent and are usually caused by herx reactions to antibiotics.
Oral Ativan didn't work for him. Klonipin caused way too many mood swings and didn't help tremors. Seizure meds -- we tried 5 or 6 -- were pretty useless as well.
Otherwise, all I can suggest is an epsom salts bath. Add up to 3 cups epsom salts to the warm bath water and don't stay in longer than 15 or 20 minutes. Watch him closely if you do this because it may really relax his muscles and make him wobbly when he goes to get out of the tub. The late Dr. Atkins of diet fame said that the body would only absorb as much magnesium as it needed through the skin and would not cause diarrhea like oral supplements could. Epsom salts is magnesium sulphate -- the sulphur helps with detox.
I also give my husband IV magnesium sulphate very low dose through his PICC line -- it helps with what he calls his fine tremors -- they look like Parkinson's tremors.
You should probably talk to your Dr. about these symptoms.
Evaluation for seizures is probably of no use. My husband has had numerous EEG's, but they have never caught a really bad episode during testing. His EEG's were either normal or showed some minor slowing which was considered insignificant.
With my husband it seems to be a detox issue and there are other triggers for him such as sound sensitivity and eating and fatigue and waking from sleep or going to sleep which are consistently problems.
I keep a diary of when I give Steve meds and his symptoms and there are definite patterns to when he has his shaking episodes.
Hope this info helps. Keep us posted on how things are going.
