Summary
Reports 2.5 years of constant headaches with a lot of neck tension, plus recurring convulsion-like episodes with muscle cramping, hands and feet in strange positions and strange noises, during which they stay conscious. A first EEG showed mild epileptic signs, but a five-day EEG showed only isolated slowing and epilepsy was dismissed. The latest episode came in January 2024, after almost a year free of them.
