Honestly it's kind of like that but it works it's way up my arm, shoulder, neck, face and then I pass out. the first time it just got tense and painful and I started flopping about and passed out, the second time my arm was flailing around and it was really painful before I started convulsing and then passed out.
As far as someone being there to confirm the night seizures, my gf stays over usually 2-3 nights a week and I've never woken up really groggy and sore like I have when I believe I've had a night seizure. It's usually my arms and neck/jaw that are sore when I've thought it's happened.
I have also potentially had nerve damage. I crashed a dirt bike pretty bad a few years ago, no broken bones but landed on my shoulder/neck/head and its caused shoulder pain and my shoulders hang uneven unless I consciously correct it.
As stupid as it sounds, I've "switched hands" and I've not had any of those feelings or cramping with my left hand. I fell asleep on my right arm a few nights ago and woke up sweating, my entire arm tingling and my right hand feeling like it was about to start cramping. I shook it out and walked around a bit, grabbed a cold glass of water and tried watching tv to take my mind off it and then I fell asleep again.
TBH, my biggest fear is dying from a seizure. Not from falling and splitting my head open or anything, I can deal with that. I've sleep walked my entire life and constantly wake up with bruises and knocks that I don't remember getting. As far as any underlying issues- stress, dehydration, the bike accident, sleep walking and depression are things that I guess would be wrong with me. But can you actually DIE from having a seizure? I feel like I'm beating a dead horse with this but I can't talk about this with people that have never had it because its like speaking Chinese to them.
