hi
this is a first time post for me
ive had afew neuro problems for a while now. I wont go into great detail but i paid to see a private neuro for these problems (including fsciculations, "insect-crawly-feeling", burning in arm, tingling)
But the big problem was these jerks i have been having. From what i have read on a here a few of you have myoclonic jerks (ranging from a single digit to a hand or arm). I happen to get those too but i did not classify them as myoclonic jerks. I also get the sleep-starts or hypnic jerks mentioned here. Again, im not bothered about them.
anyway the private neuro said he didnt know what the jerks were (implied i was making them up) but diagnosed me with bfs.
the bfs doesnt bother me unless it keeps me awake! so im not too bothered about it. But i do want to know if any of you get similar jerks to me that i will detail below:
at first a gp diagnosed these as myoclonic jerks. The neuro disagreed. i dont trust either of them
about 1 or 2 second preceeding the jerk i will have a strange sensation in my shoulders, arms and upper back. it is quite unnerving and feels like a tensing up or a thin-spread static impulse. Then i will jerk/shudder involuntarily. both my arms but in particular my lesft arm will fly up to chin level and my neck will often go back. my eyes usually sut.
i believe i have always had these for as long as i can remember but they have changed recently. Most people feel the shudder of someone stepping on their grave but these shudders are more dramatic and occur 5-10 times a day. On some days i will only have one or two but experienec the strange static sensation many times during the day.
anyone else have these.
