In the last few months when my clusters get really bad I constantly catch myself in these moments where my muscles are super tense. My feet are typically stuck with my toes pointed toward my shins and my arms curl slightly inwards but not super noticeably, and my shoulders are like level with my chin. I don’t notice it until my body relaxes and then I’m like “whoa, I was super tense!”
I can’t tell if these are types of seizures or just me being super stressed or what, but I never notice when I go into them, only when I come out, and it typically happens when I’ve had a lot of other seizure activity. Does anyone else experience this??

Hi, so I’m still in the process of getting diagnosed. I’ve been diagnosed in the past with FND but have recently been showing some pretty concrete signs of focal epilepsy as well and one of the most infuriating things I’ve come across is whenever I get flustered, I begin to have a seizure. For example, if I’m in an argument trying to argue my point or defend myself and I get too worked up or start mixing up my words before I get my case defended, my brain will just short circuit and completely misfire to the point where I’m either just repeating whatever the last word I landed on was or go silent and blank stare completely.

It’s not just arguments but if I’m trying to recount a story or give important details on something I’m planning and I get a little anxious it happens too. Does anyone else experience this?
