I've only recently discovered that I have Myoclonic jerks due to a discussion on a Dysautonomia forum. For a long time I always thought I was just..twitchy. My parents thought as much too. I had been doing the Myoclonic jerks since even before I became direly sick.
Does anyone else experience Myoclonic, or perhaps other seizure activity? I had the flashy EEG done, and while I didn't have a seizure during the test I definitely had an adverse reaction and the test had to be stopped. Doctors really didn't address it though, which was annoying.
Like most with Myoclonic jerks I only get them when I am very tired, or waking up/going to sleep(also i have noticed over-caffeinating triggers some too). I don't have them enough to warrant medications, but it is something I found interesting enough to see if any others experienced these.
