Jerking In Sleep

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Herriman, UT

A week and a half ago I woke up 3-4 times a night, 2 nights in a row, with my body jerking. My whole body would literally jerk and wake me up. Is this normal?

I have RLS. My body has tremors regularly. The fibro makes everything worse. Fibro enhances and makes anything wrong - 10 times worse.

I used to kick in my sleep so bad that I'd kick my cat off the bed!! I'd wake up and she is just sitting on the floor glaring at me. My doctor prescribed Miripex for me and as soon as I get those jerks/bugs crawling feeling under my skin.

I've had that. A doctor told me it was hypnagogic jerks. I've found that limiting my caffeine helps.
