I woke up with a headache
I had weird, involuntary muscle twitches
Went to Target and got the "15 frames per second" feeling
My right foot and arm felt funny
Left forearm and hand felt nervy and tingly
I had a partial seizure at 9 p.m. for 30 minutes
I was conscious and alert, and had vertigo
No tremors, just involuntary muscle twitches in my hands and legs
My cheeks felt tingly
