Hello there Smile
sound to me as if your daughter has myoclonic epilepsy. I dont know if I spelt it correctly.

I am 21 and when I was younger I would feel so tired I would go to bed and my entire body would jerk 1 time. My doctors said it was only because my body was tired before my brain. But it would happen alot. I would have finger twitching. Just things that I though everyone else had. Then all day at different times I would get like a hot feeling all over and I would do a silly shake that lasted maybe 5 seconds and be gone. Like the feeling you get and ppl say oh someone walked ober your grave kinda thing. Now 3 months ago I had a massive grandmal seizure lasting over 40 minutes I was taken to the accident and emergency department and they said I had an acute reaction to anxiety and stress. I wasnt stressed I didnt know what happened. I was sent home in the care of my partner and I slept for 2 days only being woken for food and drinks. Since that I went to a neurologist they couldnt find anything wrong with me either normal ct ,eeg,ecg nothing abnormal. Except for stress lines over my eeg. I am on tegretol now
the doctors found that I am a temporal lobe epileptic , when I was 8 yrs old I cracked my head open and they say thats why I have it now later in life.
