[tri-med] Re: multi focal myoclonic seizures

Bec doesn't appear to stiffen but does fall to her knees and I think some of
her desats may be attributed to this.

Catherine,
Morgan has generalized myoclonus, which is an hyperactive startle response.
He also has tonic seizures, stiffening with head drop and breath holding.
He takes valproate and keppra.  Neither seem to cause any side effects in
him.  But he still has daily seizures.  They don't seem to bother him.
