JME - is fatigue a symptom

My daughter has been presenting the symptoms of JME for about 6 - 8 months.  she was 13 on 9/5/2009.  

She has the arm/shoulder shakes.  sometimes legs.  mostly in mornings.  I haven't told her about any kind of diagnosis yet, but I have her keeping a journal of the "episodes" as we call them.

She is a very tired girl.  She doesn't have the energy I think a 13 yr old teen should have.  she is my third teen.

Is fatigue a symptom of this.

Thank You.

Thanks!  i never knew what it was and she just called it "sometimes I freak out".  She hasn't had any that affect her terribly badly.  once she spilled an entire pitcher of juice all across the kitchen and that's when I started to make her keep a log.  It is happening daily now in varying degrees of potency.

Thanks again

you need to get your daughter in to see a noroligest right away .and yes seizures can make you very tired .

go to utube and watch some videos of different kind of seizures and they also have videos that tell you what you should do when some one is having one.

your daughter school should be told of what is happen and that way they can make sure to keep her safe and watch for things also.
