I have Jeavons Syndrome. It’s a rare type of epilepsy that is characterized my tics, more specifically facial tics such as rapid eye blinking and staring at the sky. It’s really bad. I can’t go a day without having thousands of tiny seizures and tens of absence seizures each day. I’ve tried every medicine on the market, and nothing has worked. I’m not willing to try anything like marijuana, but I’m getting desperate. Is there anything I can do that could help reduce my seizures?

      No, I have a neurologist now. I'll be seeing her soon.

      Hi! It sounds frustrating.. Have you looked into a neurosurgical intervention? They can sometimes find the exact place in the brain that causes these tics.
