Liverpool, UK

For the past couple of of years I have been experiencing jerking sensation. It normally happens when I settle down to sleep😴it happens in various parts of my body such as my legs arms ur even the hole of my body.
It's happen twice on separate occasions in my legs were I have been standing still and my leg as shaken uncontrollably.
Just wondering if this is a new fybromayalgia experience. 🤔💐❤️

I say my Thank You father in prayers as I fall asleep and as I wake up. And learned from my o.t. hubby and cardiac specilist that if you eat a tiny snack that is high in potassium and a glass of coconut milk before bed is reduces the intensity or stops them

A hypnagogic jerk is an involuntary muscle spasm that occurs as a person is drifting off to sleep. The phenomenon is so named in reference to the hypnagogic state — the transitional period between wakefulness and sleep. Hypnagogic jerks, are also commonly known as hypnic jerks or sleep starts.

You may have the shingles again because I looked at my grandma's on her head and that is what it looks like

I experience this, as well as nerve zaps. Especially my left uppet arm will twitch, and have extremely painful throbs. 🙏One day, one moment at a time... 💖
