hypotonic ?

[cheeryface]

ds2 was seen by a neurologist last year (aged 11) and was eventually diagnosed with epilepsy.

on the letter we recieved it says that ds2 is hypotonic and has excessive range of joint movement but no other neurological findings on examination.

there was no discussion about this and its never been noticed before except i knew he has very odd double jointed thumbs and twice as a toddler had to go to A & E with a pulled arm.

what does it indicate ? nothing ? something ?

We have since been having other problems with school , behaviour etc and are now awaiting a camhs appointment.

are there connections between epilepsy , hypotonia , aspergers ?

My baby was described as 'hypotonic' - it means floppy or weak. My other daughter had hyperextensible joints - which means very bendy. I was on medication which had caused my youngest's hypotonia. Some people are just born with hyperextensible joints I don't think you need to read too much into it.
I wouldn't think that epilepsy has any connection with it at all - is it hereditary?
