Abby's episodes, what is it? I need advice

Well, Abby is 4 years old. It started back in April. She would have these spells where her little body would tremble. Well she had 4 spells back in April, she knows that it is about to happen, she will come and tell me, mommy I am shaking and within 2 minutes she will be trembling. She acts terrified. She wants to remove herself from whereever she is. These episodes will last anywhere from 5-12 minutes. We took her to a Pediatric Neurologist back in June, they did a MRI and EEG and it was normal. So, we didn't have anymore spells until The first part of November. She has had 5 spells so we took her back to the dr. they have now performed a 24 hour ambulatory study. We will not know the results for 24 hours. They said first thing they want to rule out is seizures. So, the dr. mentioned that maybe it was migraines. I just really don't believe that it is migraines. When these episodes happen she is scared, she normally hates the dr. and screams when she finds out that she has to go. But, when she has an episode she begs to go to the dr. She is usually hot after the episode is over. She has told me that the top of her head hurts. She told the dr. yesterday that her head is shaking when she shakes. She has also said that she hears thunder....does anyone have any insight?
