A member asked:
Is it possible for juvenile myoclonic epilepsy symptoms to worsen after your first grand mal seizure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: While JME is often fairly easy to treat (80+ percent of cases) there are cases which are terribly difficult to get under control. This may be perceived as worsening after the first identified seizure...which often is the first convulsion.
