Extreme heat, cold, exercise or stress can trigger it for me.
So stay out of the heat!

In 2005 I had a test for seizures however that was negative.

I became worse about 1.5 years ago they did another scan for Epilepsy and found that I have Epilepsy. I believe they call it PME Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy.

I am now on LAMICTAL for Epilepsy this has helped with the headaches and the jerking.
My BEST ADVISE IS TO GET A COPY OF ALL OF YOUR MEDICAL TEST RECORDS that you have done!

I still have problems with extreme fatique, I have tried B12 shots, etc.
I did see in the Mayo clinic news that 1000 mg of American Ginseng can help with fatique in cancer patients. I tried it and it seemed to help a bit.

STAY AWAY FROM PROVIGIL or any medication used for narcalepsy. My MD tried that. I used that medication for 1 day and my jerking was worse for about 4 days.
My Neurologist said to stay away from those medications.

[QUOTE=panghal82;881516]Hello,

First thanks for sharing your concern ...
I am 30 years old female and from last 2 weeks , I am facing severe headache, memory loss, fatigue and at times feel shocks in hands and legs.

Today I got my B12 report and the levels have dropped further to 224 pg/ml and increased MCV and RBC counts.
Hb quotient is also on the lower side - 9.5.

I checked with my doctor ( Neurolosit) and he was not sure what can cause the Myroclonic jerks which I feel quite often.
My hands start jerking momentarily and feel shocks in upper part of the body.

I also feel uneasiness .


Any ideas will really help..

Please help!!!

Regards,
Panghal[/QUOTE

memory loss
I too have the memory lapses, short term memory issues.
My Neuro told me not to drive unless it is close to home and I know where I am going.
I have had some issues in the last few months getting forgetting how to get to locations that i should know where they are. that is scary.

I have the hand tremmors, my hands go numb and tingly at night.

My sister has some of the symptoms that I have they diagnosed her with MSA Multiple Systems Atrophy which is a form of potts disease.

Anyone interested can look at www.dinet.org
