Does This Persom Have Myoclonic Epileppsy Posted: 07-01-05 21:21pm
H I the - I am new here and come from
brisbane australia. I am writning as I
kinow a young fellow - and strangely I
received a booklet from the us ep
foundation. It outlined many wariants -
but the one that amazed me was myoclonic.
I know a young fellow and he can stare
atr a computer screen for 40 minuts and
not move. His facial muscles twitch - and
there aresome other symptoms . I reaaly
wonder whether he has this . I have
peteit mals - - used to have grand mals
- and my mum has the occasional absence
status - - and grand mal. I am sure -
this young bloke may have myoclonic - and
I tried to get a duplicate of the book
after that one was lost but to noa avail.
Can any body help . Thanks . Peter

You can find info on seizures types at www.Efa.Org and go to
answerplace
you can also go to www.Epilepsy.Com for
epilepsy 101 basic info....
Facial twitches would not be myoclonic,
but can be part of complex partials....Or
simple partials ....No idea what the young
man is having without seeing....

Thanks very much. I really wish I could
find that book but I will find it. I
coul;d say more but as he is very scared
about things at the moment I wouldn't want
to start a thing that spooked him .
Cheers peter
