Hi,

I had what i usually call my "funny five minutes" last night, usually involves aura type feelings, shaking and crying.  Balance goes and dosn't really return for a little while after and i usually find it hard to respond to others during this time.  Lasts anything from 5 to 15 minutes.

Last night was different and i wanted to pick peoples brains.  When i described it to my flatmate, she suggested it sounded more like a tonic clonic seizure, as oppose to a partial seizure, which my "funny five minutes" is usually labelled under.

I had the aura feelings, out of control sobbing, but different this time was both arms and legs were jerking and i felt i had no control over this.  I couldn't stop moving.  In comparison to my other "funny five minutes", i described it to my flatmate as one of the worse i had had.  I was on my own and it was when falling asleep, so there is no witness to know if awareness was complete throughout, but i certainly was aware of my body moving uncontrollably.

 Is there a such thing as a tonic clonic where some level of awareness is kept?
