Nocturnal seizures
Sun, 05/08/2016 - 23:11Topic: Women With Epilepsy
I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 7 years old and the type I have is absence seizures. They would happen during the day but I've been noticing that when I'm sleeping I would jerk like my arm would jerk or my leg would jerk. Then in the morning my legs would be so weak like I've been sleeping walking or something and some morning I would find scratches on my arm but I won't know how they got there and if I did it how I scratched myself in my sleep. So if anybody can tell me the symptoms of this that would be great. I see my neurologist on June 2nd so if I should ask him about this please let me know.
