Does anyone have JME? I have a question.
Sun, 07/20/2008 - 15:38I've had Epilepsy for pretty much five years now and I've grown more photosensitive and have recently been diagnosed with JME (Juvenile Myoclonic Epliepsy) but I don't have the jerks. I have everything else on the symptoms list but the jerks.
Does anyone else have JME and no jerks? I really don't want a misdiagnosis. I'm going to talk to my neurologist about it but I'm not going to see him for a while and the question is really bugging me.
Help?

to answer your question:
I have JME. I know for sure and when I started having seizures I had jerks. But over the years things have changed I still have grand mal seizures but no jerks. So maybe it is possible. I do know I have JME.
