Understanding Episodes
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

For the past four days, I’ve been dealing with myoclonic seizures but in bursts. So, 1 minute to 2 minutes and 30 seconds of seizing. A short break, maybe 30 seconds to a minute and then back to seizing. Usually, when I start having myos, I go into a grand mal. But it’s been four days of myos on and off. I’m not sure if it’s something different, something anyone else experiences or just my regular seizures?

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member ,

Myoclonic seizures are a brief shock or spasms in the muscles.

Myo , means muscle. Clonic , mean rapidly alternating contractions.

Good luck. Be careful when checking out seizures bc we all know we all react differently to even the same kind of seizure.

Do u ever drool, twitch & turn or make weird noises? That would mean it’s a grand mal then.
