Every day and every night, I'll have twitches in the same spots.

When it happens I'm usually feeling very sleepy, so I've just been brushing it off. But, I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't. It never happened before I starting having seizures. Sure, I'd twitch *just as* was drifting off...SOMETIMES. But now it's actually happening every day.

My right hip, my left knee, my right arm (though I'm not sure if it's my bicep/tricep or my forearm.) and one or both of my ankles, though usually the right side. Most of the time it's on the right side.





Also, what the hell.
 
Definitely don't brush it off, especially if it's new. Anything you are concerned about you should discuss with your neuro.
 
I remember the night before I had my first (witnessed) tonic-clonic. I was in bed, just on the verge of sleep, and my left leg started twitching in a really weird way. I said to my wife: "My leg is twitching." She was mostly asleep so she just mumbled something, and I was mostly asleep so I fell asleep. The next thing I knew I was sitting on the edge of my bed and paramedics and neighbors were there and everyone was all freaked out. I guess that was at about 4:00 AM so I had gone much of the night before I actually had the t/c. You, of course, have already had seizures, but still, it's probably best to say something to your doc about things like that.

Carry on, O charging one!
