Q: Screaming Seizure - Please Help

My last seizure was about a week or so ago... I had absolutely no aura, though I was in the bathroom sweating protrucely (sp?) and really felt like I was going to throw up... This lasted at least 5 minutes, though it felt like more...

In all my seizure experiences i've almost always had an aura first... When I realized i, in fact, wasn't going to throw up, I left the bathroom & went into the other room where my husband was... I opened the door & said I didn't feel well... That's all I remember...

He said no sooner then I said that, I fell flat on my face & into the box fan and began to seize.. When I came to I was really paranoid and not sure of my surroundings... I was able to speak, if you want to call it that, and asked what is happening to me?? Hubby told me I was having a seizure and I about lost it...

The oddity of this particular seizure is, aside from no aura, when I came out of it, or at least when I regained conscienceness, I couldn't speak in a normal tone of voice, all I could do is scream on the top of my lungs & had no control over the level of my voice... Has this ever happened to anyone before?? It took some time & alot of reassuring from hubby before I could speak 'normally'...

Also, once I came to, I never got the migraine that always follows a fit... Not that i'm complaining, just suprised...

One other factor that the gp really thought had alot to do w/this particular seizure is, at the time I also had a large cyst under my left arm pit... A couple of days later I had it removed and so far so good... Does anyone know if maybe this cyst, or any kind of viral infection, could have been the onset of the seizure? If it was, why was this particular seizure so different then the ones i'm accustomed to?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.. Thank for listening
