Eye twitching & seizures & Absent seizures
Fri, 01/01/2010 - 17:51- I was diagnosed with idopathic epilepsy a year ago . I was diagnosed after being found on kitchen floor after layign their for hours. My doctor think I may have Juvenile Absence Epilepsy however he's not sure what to call it because I'm 26. For awhile after I was diagnosed I was on Keppra however sadly I had go go off bceause I did not have the money. I am on nothing and noticed that my right eye started to twitch. Now it is increased to a daily basis to the point I can't keep count. I was wondering if maybe if this a sign I'm having a absent siezures? Anyone know if this can be or if they have it?
