The shaking starting slowly with only one side of the body with only a couple of limbs and then would ramp up to include the whole body. With each following session of seizure the shaking would get more violent and the time it took to go from a couple of limbs and one side of the body lessened. Until the last few were just the whole body of uncontrolled shaking. The shaking would last of awhile (I would guess about a minute) and then subside. My boyfriend tried to hold my arms because even when I wasn't seizing my right arm would rise and would uncontrollably paw at the side at my face. I did feel nauseous. I had some clonazapam with me and took one 5mg. That helped a tiny bit. I took another 5mg and within 40 minutes the seizing had stopped. I take clonazapam for anxiety, later I learned it is also an anti-seizure medicine.
