First of all, I just want to apologize that even though Ive been posting, I havnt really been supportive or responding to anyone else on here, and that makes me feel bad.
I mentioned the myoclonic status epilepticus I had 2 weeks ago. M y medication was increased, but every single day Im still experiencing pricking/tingling on my skin in various parts of my body.. arms... head.. stomach....nausea followed by some jerking in my leg or sometimes shoulder.
Its basically been happening everyday since 2 weeks ago and Ive probably had to take valium about 6 times... which I know is NOT good becuase it could become inaffective.
I am seeing neurologist again tomorrow, since this is still continuing.
I am actually worried perhaps this is something more serious, like MS or Parkinsons...after looking on wikipedia. I keep trying to rationalise ... like.. ok this happened after video games.. and is worse when im on my PC (i really wanted to post this though)
Im wodnering if its possible (and i need to ask my neuro this) that a myoclonic seizure could come from one area in the brain. The reason I ask this, is because my tests showed abnormality in the left temporal lobe and the jerking was only on my right side.. which would make sense right ?
Another thing im going to ask is if the lamictal is maybe causing this. Though my partial seizures have stopped.. this has begun.
Going to also ask him for an add on medication if its not the lamictal because I just cannot bear this any longer. I dare not go anywhere, because of this, and Im so scared its going to evolve into perhaps tonic clonic seizures.. is that a possibility ?
Anyway, Im going to try an d make an effort to answer others on here. I realise some people have had this condition much longer that myself, but I have seen new people on here looking for answers and if they happen to be reading this post, since Ive been through the tests and the seizures myself, open a post and Ill try and let you know how these things go.
Take Care all, Il check in later.

As to whether seizures can evolve...yes. They can change. That's why it is so important for us to get them under control if at all possible. Good luck at the doctor's.
