Keppra helps my seizures and I take magnesium before bed because busy days and nocturnal seizures. My left arm for awhile I had to get used to because I thought at first I was having a strike but in the long run my nerves are damaged and lost movement in my thumb and index gmfinger. It also locks up and will unlock and kind of jerk back and then have regular use. I did physical therapy was helpful to develop muscles but when I flex my arm just twitches.
