Are there any homeopathy cure for JME?
Patient: Is there a homeopathy cure for JME, my son had a seizure and the EEG says "an abnormal record with several generalized epileptiform abnormalities in keeping with idiopathic generalized epilepsy"  He had been having hand jerks for some time and yesterday had the first seizure in bathroom with his hand shaking Doctor: **1. JME [juvenile mycoclonic epilepsy] is shock like momentary contraction of muscles of a limb or the whole body, and since cause was 'idiopathic' even then secondary causes like: intracranial tumor, tuberculoma,cysticerosis should be ruled out with relevant investigationsPS. treatment is symptomatic and the same whether epilepsy is primary or secondary.2. since the person is able to think clearly even during the attack, thus no first aid is usually required.3. Because myoclonic seizures are often associated with certain syndromes, thus I won't advise any alternate cure, till he is seen by a doctor to make a diagnosis and then begin the treatment4. Common instructions which should be kept in mind/are:. do not miss the treatment even for one day [when started].. avoid places where convulsions can be dangerous. e.g. swimming,driving, climbing heights,work near moving machinery, standing in train or bus doors, work near fire.. avoid fat rich diet [since fat is known to precipitate attacks of epilepsy]
