Have you been diagnosed with any particular type of epilepsy. My daughter has juvenile myoclonic and with this you tend to have seizures and "arm jerks" when you awaken in the morning. Do your arms ever jerk, or do you drop alot of things in the AM? Discuss this with your dr if you do because certain seizure medications aggitate this condition.
