I am sorry this is happening
johnnie....Not sure if it would be
myoclonic, there is usually not fatigue
afterward....
I saw on another thread that you have a
slightly abnormal eeg, but treatments have
not helped. What treatment have you
tried? What does your doctor think these
are? Do you see a neurologist?
I am not sure how long this has gone on.
I hope you can get answers soon. It
sounds like these interfere with everyday
life. Keep looking for answers. I cannot
say what they are, I am not a medical
person. It does sound concerning and you
need it to stop, though....

Hi kayak I am on epilim 2000mgs per day
and lamotrigine they have varied medicines
and dosages but to no avail I have
suffered for about 8 years but it is very
bad at present there is a chance it could
be heart related as I used to suffer from
palpitations and when I jerk when trying
to sleep when heart and chest tightens
very frightening. I am seeing neurologist
and he thinks something else maybe causing
it so I am due another eeg sleep deprived
so hopefully we can catch this when I am
jerking

I hope you get answers! Have you seen a
cardiologist yet? Hoping you can find the
cause and have the jerks stop!
