No, JME is not a acronym for Jacksonain Epilepsy. It stands for Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy.
It produces Grand Mals, Myoclonics, and Absences.
I have JME, and TLE.
JME is genetic in my family, and one of my kids has Grand Mals and takes Dilantin for them. The other child is non-epileptic so far. My 3rd child is from my husband's proior marriage adn she is 13, Allison. My oldest is, Gretchen is 10 and has had epilepsy for 3 years, and my other child, Brittani is 8.
Nancy I was removed from Depakote and put on Dilantin.
