Can the use of a laptop before sleeping or tv cause myoclonic jerks... im 18 and was recently diagnosed with epilepsy... junior Myoclonic Jerks always occur before i have a seizure. today i woke up at 6 and had a few myoclonic jerks occur ing. Then i woke up at 10 and had one or two myoclonic jerks. then it stopped for a while. and i was feeling better. Then at around 3 or 4. the Jerks started again. less frequent but had carried on till 6 ish? I just want to know. Why do i get these myoclonic jerks and is it normally followed up by a seizure... ive had three seizures... all of which began with Myoclonic Jerks before i'd sleep/after i'd wake up.... However. today i had the Myoclonic Jerks. But i didn't get a seizure? I need to get this under control as im missing alot of school because of these occurances.... please help.
Would be very appreciated.
PS. I am taking Depakin Chrono - 500 Mg.
I take half a tablet for breakfast, and half a tablet before i sleep.
