I am a 14 year old girl who has recently begun twitching/jerking movements in the arms, it happens nearly all the time except from when I am rapidly moving, even then it still happens sometimes. I find it worsens when I am tired or have just woken up. I have been told by my mum to keep a diary of when it happens. My neck also twitches at different times to my arms. I had meningitis as a baby and had to go back for continuous check ups. I have exceeded my physicians expectations in level of intelligance and am currently studying for my GCSE's two years early. Anyway back to the point I have had no worries and it just started without any warning, can this lead onto a grand mal seizure as my mum after the past few days is scared to let me do anything on my own incase I have a grand mal because I am twitching and jerking. Does thinking about it make it worse. I have not been diagnosed with epilepsy do you think I should see a doctor, If this helps I also experience surges of rapid blinking.
Thankyou
Charlotte
