my names is James and I was diagnosed with myoclonic epilepsy at a very early age I think I was about 5 or 6 how ever i haved been on epilim since then and im now 26 I have now been told they are doutfull i have epilepsy.
the consern is even though i have the myoclonic jerks if its not epilepsy what can be causing it and will the epilim medication have damaged anypart of my body if it comes back as not havin epilepsy.

hi my husband who is epileptic had a seizure yesterday that as totally out o character for him. He usually falls backwards and goes down with a real bang if you dont catch him. I wasnt there yesterday but my daughter said he started to walk strangely and ended up on his knees leant againt the radiator before he started fitting. he definatley never fell. ive never experienced this before.has anybody experienced this before and why the change in his seizure activity.
