EEG in Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy

[@MelissaMayGB]

I have JME and USED to be photosensitive. I grew out of it at around 16. My childhood doctor taught me something that I hope will be useful. If you feel a photosensitive seizure coming on, cover one eye immediately with a hand. For some odd reason, you cannot have a seizure. I know some of you might be skeptical but this helped me so much as a child.

It's true. It can be explainable from medicine's point of view

[@meganflynn5803]

I was only diagnosed with it recently at the age of 16 but I can never feel any coming on me so that's the scary part😰

[@juanavargas7562]

I was 16 years old when I was diagnosed with Juvenial Myoclonic epilepsy. Now I'm 25 years old and still taking medication for it. I mostly had seizures when I was asleep. Though only two times I had a seizure when I was awake, at home. This was very educational, I didn't know this before.

Again awesome lecture, I am learning so much for each fo your lectures, all these are real life and very commonly seen in clinic and in patients

[@cori4145]

I recorded a similar EEG today on a patient. This reinforces my understanding of JME. Thank you for taking the time to explain this!

I am suffering from JME since 2006, currently taking Valprol cr 400 and 500 with fricium 10 but my seizures are not controlled. I sometime regularly or sometime randomly feel seizures. Now a days i episodically experience it with the gap of two months. Can you please help me any way.

@@ei4831 ask your doctor to check your drug (valrpoic acid) levels in your blood... there are times when it drops due to changes in your weight, especially when you start taking the treatment when you are very young and then grow up (therefore you gain weight) I suffer from JME and that happened to me...

[@kevinxie2155]

@@ei4831 There are lot of other drugs option now on the market, please make sure that you get the opinion of epileptologist. Best wishes for you.

How to tell the difference RLS and JME myoclonic jerks?

[@evangelineeden342]

Hello, it's been about 4 years since I was diagnosed with JME. My medication comes with some symptoms such as depression I cannot handle anymore. Are there better ways to prevent myoclonic seizures without taking pills every day?

[@erickwaddup819]

I am currently 18 years old and I believe I was diagnosed with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy when I was 15. Just now I'm beginning to worry whether this is something I will need medication for my whole life. What is there to worry about?

[@EEGucation]

It is a good idea to see a Neurologist or an Epilepsy specialist for a proper diagnosis and the most appropriate treatment.

[@markr.3577]

Unfortunately, while JME can be well controlled it is likely that medication will be required for life to keep seizures from recurring. Often, even those people with JME who have been well controlled for years will have their seizures return if the medication is withdrawn.
