thank you for your advice! i do have muscle problems with my fibromyalgia, but it is mostly muscle weakness in my hands and legs, as well as my throat(i choke periodically). however, my episodes don't seem to be fibro related that i can tell. i feel sort of like an extension cord plugged into something, and occasionally i get a bit more energy flowing than my body seems to be able to handle. if i went out of it completely, i would think i was definitely having an epileptic seizure. however, i am conscious, and that isn't usually part of epilepsy as i have studied it. the other thought i have is that if i were to go out, i would wonder if someone or something was sort of taking over my body for a short period of time. once again, i am not out, so i don't think there is room enough at the "ellen inn" for two! it is a puzzling and different phenomenon, so i guess i will just have to accept it as it is. have a happy holiday season.
