A member asked:
Can you do anything to help calm myo colonic jerk seizures.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What kind? Myoclonus: is a symptom, not a disease. Brief, involuntary twitching of a muscle or a group of muscles can be epileptic or non-epileptic, so the cause must be found first. Epileptic myoclonus is associated with a variety of genetic & other medical syndromes & neurological disorders. Depending on the underlying disorder, neurologists prescribe one or more of many anti-epileptic medicines that may help.
