Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 , those sound like Jake's myoclonic seizures. He would drop his head down, chin to chest, just a quick head bob, and sometimes roll his eyes at the same time. Lasted about 3 seconds. It's all very confusing. Jake now drops forward w/ force and smashes face first to the ground. Almost like the myoclonic were the " small " version, and this is the biggie. From what I understand, Jake's drop seizures are in the myoclonic family, all related. Just much more severe and harsh. He no longer does the head drop thing...since the diet. And sunlight used to make them worse. There are also drops where you lose tone, those are different. Jake's are drops almost like a jack-knife, when he goes stiff and rigid and falls forward....
