Why do I keep on having myoclonics sometimes when I'm asleep or just taking a nap? I just want it all to go away.

I may have mentioned I was first told I had MYCLONIC SEIZURES 18yrs ago! At first I kept wondering "what the HELL is my? NEURO talking about? He never made any sense to ME, so that is when I demanded proof for what HE kept saying. Then a MRI to show where SEIZORE'S were coming from, followed by an EEG. The NEURO gave report I'd be this way rest of my LIFE. I said: "Bullshit, the Brain heals." He said: "No it doesn't." I asked: "Why not? If it takes only 9-months to create a New Life & the Brain is the first part, then why can't I heal? Prove it I want another MRI in 1yr and when it happened it showed 10% healing! Next yr an additional 15% and so on until last one showed +90% healed leaving no Brain Damage to cause SZ! But current NEURO refuses to accept an insist I still need MEDS, which I reluctantly take. An suffer side effects of MEDS! I eat foods that make me feel better and control any MYCLONUS.

As long as Prescribed Medicine and still have EPILEPSY it'll NEVER go away! You can control with DIET.

I’ve noticed myoclonics in non epileptics when they fall asleep also.

It's only called a Diet because it will be the Food You're consuming. (Not to loose weight.)
