Hi again,
I've been wondering whether I've been having myoclonic jerks, or whether I'm just twitching, I've been reading alot on the net to try and work out which one it is, but maybe some other peoples personal experiences might help.
My twitches usually happen in my legs, they aren't massive jumps, but both legs will twitch at the same time, probably only moving about 5-10cm. I also get similar twitches in my fingers, though it usually only affects one hand at a time. I only get one twitch at a time, rather than a continual twitching.
I know that everyone, epileptic or not, twitches as they fall asleep but lately I've been getting more and more. Luckily I'm single or I'd probably have a very bruised partner because these twitches can be very violent!!!
My thumb has also started twitching, but that is a rhythmic twitch and my neuro says that is most likely an SP seizure. (So much better than the horrible deja vu SP's!)
I'd be interested to know what other people think these twitches could be. I will obviously mention it to my neuro (I mentioned the thumb, but not the legs which was a bit silly of me!), but I wont be seeing her for another 4 months. Thanks in advance,
Munchy xx
(I've typed twitch, twitching and twitches so many times the word looks really strange to me now lol!!!)
