I apologize if this question sounds dumb or something as I'm kind of new to having E. Last night I experienced a new kind of seizure that I haven't experienced yet. I had an aura, and then shortly later rather than convulsing my body just began shaking, as in, tremoring. By the end of it my muscles all felt tired. Anyone have any idea what kind of seizure this was?
 
It sounds like a simple partial seizure, assuming there was no loss of awareness during it.
 
Maybe myoclonic seizures.

Myoclonic (MY-o-KLON-ik) seizures are brief, shock-like jerks of a muscle or a group of muscles. "Myo" means muscle and "clonus" (KLOH-nus) means rapidly alternating contraction and relaxation—jerking or twitching—of a muscle.
