Hi my name is Meg an I'm twenty, sounds to me that's the same type of absence form I have. My triggers are lack of sleep, as you said and if I'm annoyed by someone or something, disagree with what someone says, mundane silly things. Like, when I was young and my mom would say "Go clean your room." I also have myoclonics and g.mals(JME) n e way there ya go. ~Meg

My daughter has fluttering

My daughter has fluttering eyelids. Sometimes this may be her only physically noticeable symptoms. Her other symptoms that she feels are headache, dizziness, and throat tightening. Often the eye fluttering is very quick and if you are not looking at her at the right time will be missed. Lori
