I had seizures many years ago and that baffled my doctors, including a top neurologist. Had all the tests, sleep study, etc. They tried to give me drugs, including neurontin, but I had a terrible drug reaction that was far worse than the seizures. Turned out I react to a certain class of drugs, typical CFS issue with the P450 system, but that's another topic. Anyway, eventually the doc gave me a diagnosis of partial complex epilepsy, but really I think that was a guess. I was sent home with no solutions, so decided to do my own research. Turned out I have a type of hypoglycemia, and when my blood glucose got low, sometimes I would get the shaking seizure. Also, stress or adrenal depletion could sometimes trigger this. So they may have been right as that matches partial complex, particularly since I would stay conscious. Anyway, after a few years of self-treatment with a hypoglycemic diet, and a bunch of supplements for general CFS treatment, as well as use of north-pole magnets when I had seizure activity, they have stopped. Just part of the strangeness of CFS. I think it is important to NOT let doctors treat us as typical patients and try their usual therapies without a lot of intelligent patient involvement in therapy (self-monitoring, getting some education about CFS, etc), because we are anything but typical.
