Hi! I'm need here....of course. I was diagnosed with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy at the age 1. I had a friend come over one night and of course, we stayed up til around 3-4. Doesn't seem badd right? Well the next morning I had woke up and had myoclonic jerks. Not knowing what they I just shrugged them off and tried to head to the bathroom. I had fallen down several times and that's when my mom took me to the E.R though I insisted that I was okay. My grandpa was not home at the time along with my dad. My grandpa (as I've heard from before) drove as fast as he could to the hospital. My dad left work that day too. Well after I was tested and all that fun stuff they had given me Lamictal and started me off on 25mg. A couple weeks after my family and I went to Georgia for spring break and that's when I had my second seizure. Well my brother, being the loving little brother he was kept me in bed and went to get my mom. When we got back I had a grand-mal seizure. My left arm started to get all tingly and stuff and I couldn't move it. Well after I remember vaguely that I hadn't remembered anything of our trip. My mom told me that my sister had ran into her room crying cause she was so scared (only 7 at the time) my brother followed right behind trying not to cry either. I was uped to 200 mgs of lamictal and 50 mgs of Topamax to reduce the jerking but it hasn't worked. Whenever I move too fast or exercise too much I start jerking.
