These sound like Jacksonian seizures to me.
Did your neurologist put you on anti-seizure medication?
If he thinks you ARE going for the EEG soon, he may have delayed putting you on them. IN addition, if you don't seizure during the EEG, it may read clear (unless you have had an episode relatively recently).
If you can't get the EEG soon (soon as in tomorrow), call him back and ask him if you need to be on anti-seizure meds in the meantime.
Hang in there,

You have a medical problem that needs to be checked out. Find out from your family when you can see a doctor for these problems. Is the insurance changing, is it a high co-pay? There are different issues. See if there is a community clinic in your area. They often provide medical care for much less that with other providers.

i have no idea., but the emergency room must let you get a cat scan by some means, maybe the government can pay for it or something.... that sounds really bad.... and i dont think ur dying, but i do think you need to see someone sometime soon maybe ur having anxiety attacks, muscle spasms, i rlly have no idea, but just look it up and call a doctor, they shouldnt charge you for a call and maybe they can find out watz wrong

Could it possibly be the onset of Tourettes syndrome?
I'm not a Dr. or anything but I recently read an article about it. Look it up. Some people have it very mildly.

The first thing I thought of was an epileptic seizure. It could be a psychogenic (non-epileptic seizure) as well (http://hsc.usf.edu/COM/epilepsy/PNESbrochure.pdf)

You are NOT dieing. While you are waiting for assistance for those tests, get your doctor to refer you for counselling. It sounds like pretty heavy stress to me. It sounds like that to me because I have experienced the same.
