When I talked to my new neurologist Wednesday and told him about my myoclonic jerks and the seizure I think I had last year he said it was possible I had JME, but I thought it was something that mainly happened to younger people, Ive noticed the jerks for the last few years, and Im 32, is it possible the primidone Ive taken since I was 22 for essential tremors, masked the JME? Or possibly my marijuana use, I know some people like a family member who self treat epilepsy with marijuana. I have noticed since I quit the marijuana for the last few weeks the jerks are worse than ever, but maybe thats just cause of the increased anxiety? From what Ive read on the threads on JME, I do fit some of the criteria, a family member with generalized epilepsy,(she had tonic clonics) I get the jerks when I wake up and when I am sleep deprived, or have to much caffiene, and last year I experienced what by description was a tonic clonic. So I had yet another sleep deprived EEG this week get the results a week from now, I had a few good jerks during it, even one that made both my legs give a good kick, and made the tech stop mid sentence for a sec, so Im hoping it finally shows something, the last EEG I didnt have any jerks, but I was on Primidone and Topamax and I think I was just to medicated to show anything.
