Re: [epilepsy] Tonic-clonic; generalized seizures

 

Hi Mariea and welcome to the group.
I can relate to what you are saying, as I get those too. Not sure what it is, but also the corner of my eyes
will do that or my on cheek has the habit of doing the twitches :)smile:) Are they like tremors where you
best hold on to your cup with 2 hands or it may just spill on you? Mine usually just last for a short time
and then go away. Quite often when stressed....excited over something ... my cheek is doing it right now as
just spoke to my brother who haven't spoken to in over a year now. Got all excited just hearing his voice
brought back old times and to hear they are bringing some of my mom's furniture out with them for a visit this
summer why I was over joyed.
My legs do the same and when told the Dr. that thought my feet were now having seizures but could never catch
them in the act but would twitch just like a myclonic jerk, then he laughed and said was RLS (Restless Leg
Syndrome)
Big congrats on no seizures in 5 weeks!! Good goin' there girl. You have the same type of seizures as I do
with the GM it seems. I also at times will get auras but mine are not bad enough to even think of as a
seizure even though it is a type of one. Bananas do help all round. Also with my legs I was told to take a
calcium/magnesium/vit d mix and that sure helped. In most magnesium they have a relaxant ingredient in them
that also helps with seizures and works hand in hand with our AEDs to keep our seizure threshold high.
Congrats again on the no seizures keep it up.
Take care
Keep smiling
Julie

Millie,
I wish the tremors I am having were from something else. But I have had epilepsy since I was 17 I am now
44. Since I started the Keppra a little over a month ago I have had tremors in my hands. It is almost like a
Parkinson type tremors.( the lack of better way to explain it) I also have some cramps in my legs occas.
Bananas seem to help,K deficiency could be cause. But the good news NO seizure in about 5 weeks now, have had
some aureas so some activities are happening but no convulsions, confusion,and all that go with it. How have
you been lately?
mariea
