Default spinal myoclonus...questions?
I was just diagnosed with spinal myoclonus today. What can I expect?

Is it progressive? Can they turn into generalized seizures? HELP!!

Hi, I also have recently been diagnosed with the same disorder. They put me on carba levadopa which replaces the dopamine in the brain which was depleted by my RSD. This and the deteriorated spine is what cause the episoeds. I have had some actual seizures but mostly myoclonic episodes. It can get better. Know that you are not alone, friend. I am under the same starts. This also comforts me. Take care,

Hi
I have had SM for many years, had all the MRI scans,x- rays, blood tests, different meds wich always make me feel ill. When the medication weakens my spasms are unbearable, sometimes I go for 3 days without sleep. I exersice at gym regulary, swim lots , eat well but to no avail. Doctors shove meds down your throat, but there seems to be no cure. Any ideas that will help.
