Affect of magnesium sulfate on seizure frequency

Hello. I'm not diagnosed with epilepsy, but I have a question for those who are. (It is possible that I do have epilepsy, though.) FYI: I'm not soliciting a diagnosis by posting this (I'm curious of your experience and I'm sharing part of mine). Anyway, when you absorb magnesium sulfate through your skin, has this ever caused seizures to be more frequent for you? For my condition (whatever it is), it does indeed seem to increase the frequency of incidents, whether or not they're seizures (and continues in this way even if I eat plenty of calcium-rich foods after the fact). I'm pretty perplexed about why magnesium sulfate would do that (and have benefits at the same time). I don't have issues like that with other sulfate minerals I've tried absorbed through the skin. Taking magnesium chloride orally also seems to increase incidents (but not as much or as lastingly). I tend to have good responses to most other minerals, but I've never really had a 100% good experience with any magnesium supplement. I should note that the magnesium sulfate did seem to have several benefits, though: to increase my tolerance to heat, reduce the frequency of my urination, decrease my thirst, and reduce my emotional blunting (however, my aforementioned 'incidents' tend to stimulate my emotions, too, while they're happening). It did seem to make my bones more compressed, though (kind of like they get if I stand up a lot without sitting, and without eating—or if I stay up way too late). What happens (the 'incidents') is I have automatic movements (perhaps tics and/or seizures and/or something else) that are accompanied by feelings like elation, ecstasy, euphoria, delight, glee, love or other positive feelings. The movements are usually smiles that I can't control (but it can be my whole body—although the movements are elaborate movements, but they do tend to come in pulses, unlike normal elaborate non-automatic movements), although my thoughts and feelings do seem to affect and trigger them, and my thoughts/feelings are sometimes triggers for them to stop, too (although they often keep happening more even if I stop them). If I get too anxious about the movements, I may have much less pleasant experiences (kind of like the opposite, although I don't want to go there right now), accompanied by twitches and jerks (instead of elaborate automatic movements like smiling, laughing, puckering or otherwise positioning or moving my lips, stretching my stomach or other muscles, patting myself, opening my eyes when I'm purposefully closing them, or dancing—yes, dancing). The twitches and jerks can happen on and off for a really long time after they begin, as in months, but not constantly (far beyond the less pleasant experiences, and into the pleasant ones again, many, many times, but they can fade over time if I avoid the less pleasant experiences, whether or not the more pleasant ones happen). The elaborate movements generally only happen when I'm alone (although I can still tell I'm in the state where they're prone to happen when I'm around people sometimes), but the twitches and jerks can happen around people, too (although they still seem to be triggered by thoughts and such sometimes). The elaborate movements after they subside are often followed by a set of symptoms. I get significantly more constipated (and I already have chronic constipation, which I treat via natural methods). It's harder to focus on things and get things done; I feel less productive. It's easier to daydream, dawdle, and waste time. I feel kind of sick. I may feel more fatigue. I get dark shadows under my eyes and my eyes seem more sunken in. My facial features look different to me. I feel like I just took drugs and am experiencing side-effects, or something (no, I don't do drugs, and I never have, except for stuff prescribed by the doctor when sick with pneumonia/bronchitis, Tylenol or some such). During the automatic movements, I usually can't make voluntary movements when they first start to happen, and I've experienced times where I couldn't move without the movements. In social situations I can't respond to people sometimes. It's very difficult to get out of bed after I wake up (which usually isn't in the morning), unless I put on some sunglasses or a sleep mask (that makes it easier to move for some reason; all kinds of powerful light seem to make it harder for me to do stuff, like move—and powerful artificial light tends to make time seem to pass more quickly, too). Conflict (such as deciding what to eat when I feel conflict about my options or decision, or deciding which responsibility to attempt to focus on where I have multiple things to do) can trigger the movements. I have experienced either sleep seizures and/or sleep paralysis a lot in the past (the symptoms are basically the same as each other; so, I'm not sure if there's a difference). I have had momentary lapses in consciousness (maybe just like a fraction of a second to a bit longer than a second or maybe two, and normally only when it's late at night—but this only happened for a period of several months). I've more often experienced where I'm in one position and suddenly, I touch or knock against something, typically with my head, that was seemingly further away than expected (or I may not hit it, but get uncomfortably close to it). This hasn't happened in a while, fortunately. (No, I'm not driving, FYI, even though I'm not yet diagnosed with a seizure disorder). I have auras, like a certain smell that really isn't there. This seems to come in association with the automatic movements (although it doesn't always come before/after/during them and it can come separately—but controlling the movements seems to greatly reduce the incidence of the smell, too). Ringing in one ear (at a time) seems to be an aura, too, with triggers. Also, feeling like I'm about to fade out, fall unconscious, or die, seems to be an aura, too (and a trigger for the automatic movements when this feeling gets severe—the automatic movements stop this feeling). Sometimes I'll feel long hairs and other times webs that aren't really there (and no, I don't see them, and I can tell they're not real, since my hand can actually go through the hairs, as they're sometimes only partially substantial). Sometimes motionless objects, such as Christmas lights on the tree, look like they're moving a little bit (particularly at night); I don't believe this is a hallucination, but rather some kind of distortion. My spinal position seems to be a trigger for the automatic movements (such as if I bow my head while kneeling and leaning against something or my position while washing dishes where I'm looking at the dishes—this position has been known to make me feel unwell, too, and looking up would relieve the feeling while I looked up). Fluorescent light is also a trigger (and this light makes me feel sick in a similar fashion as the after-effects of the automatic movements, after the light exposure, and not during). The movements also usually occur after the light exposure (not during), but they can happen during them sometimes. Lack of sleep is a trigger (especially if I stay up until 8AM or later—I try not to do this, but I have trouble going to bed for some odd reason), as is boredom. Light makes me kind of manic, too (as in the obsessive sense of manic where I can't seem to stop doing what I'm doing—not the ultra-social sense); I feel kind of out of it at the same time, though. Anyway, not all of what I experience sounds exactly like seizures, but there are some similarities that are a little too much to ignore, I think. The magnesium sulfate seems to have increased the incidence of one of my more rare automatic movements (dancing); I hadn't experienced that for a really long time until then. Multiple kinds of automatic movements can happen at the same time. I've read that calcium deficiency can cause seizures, psychotic symptoms, depression, and other issues. And, I know magnesium and calcium are supposed to be in balance (along with vitamin D and K2). If I have high phosphates, that could explain why magnesium might cause issues (I did have high phosphates when tested as a teenager—and I didn't drink soda with phosphates); so, maybe they're still high now, and are disrupting things with calcium. Anyway, I'm just thinking about this. I'm not making conclusions. Don't let your inner scientist worry about me there. :)
