Does Epilepsy Cause Unnatural Fear?
My son is 7 years old and he does not want to sleep by himself or with a sibling. He wants to sleep with my husband and I all the time.

Sleep Seizures Or Not
Today my husband brought to my attention that he's noticed that my foot will twitch and move off and on, then my back will straighten out and after that my hands go for awhile. I've never had a seizure in my sleep before. Can anyone help me and tell me if this is actually a seizure or what it could be?
