Should I be worried that my finger numbness is a sign of another seizure coming on?

I know this isn't the best place to ask medical questions, but my doctor is on vacation and my neurologist is a moron so it's this or the emergency room.

A couple of weeks ago I had a seizure that lasted about five minutes. My left leg had been shaking off and on all day, but got worse at night, about 2 hours beforehand. I was kept in the hospital for 3 days, all tests were normal & I was put on Keppra as a precaution. I stopped taking it because the side effects were so bad I'd literally rather have another seizure.

So now of course I'm paranoid about everything. I woke up this morning with the fingers of my right hand feeling kind of numb and cold. It lasted a while and then went away, but has been recurring throughout the day, and now I'm worried it's a sign.

I've never had a seizure before this one.

    E.R if you feel like it has gone beyond what you expected.

    I have no idea what you have... this is all very odd.
