Thank you Meetz:
Are you the forum moderator?
I do have the feeling of falling. Actually that´s my biggest issue right now. And I´ve had it all my life, but a lot more now. I´m 35. When I´m falling asleep I get it a lot with fast images I see or dream, and an electric shock wakes me up with a jump. I have a hard time falling asleep now because of these and it affects me a great deal psychologically at the time of going to bed.
I don´t know if it´s the same thing I get all night (like my video shows). Cause in my video I´m already sleeping. I guess they must be then myoclonic jerks/twitches like you say, for I´ve read you get these in stage 2 sleep, which is the only stage I get (my polysomnographies show). I get no restorative sleep at all.
But even if it is just myoclonic jerks/twitches, isn´t this a sleep disorder too? Could it be psychological? Is there a drug for this? I do take Clonazepam (klonopin) and my sleep doc says that´s sometimes used for sleep seizures. Something´s not letting me have depper restorative sleep, my doctor says, but we don´t know what it is yet.
I do have to better my sleep habits and control my anxiety. And rule out sleep apnea too definetely. Or confirm it.
About the 24 or 48 hours EEG test, I don´t know if I can take that one for now. They´d have to prescribe it. I´m only seeing a sleep doctor now (psychiatrist) who happens to want to rule out epilepsy during my sleep. Both my parents had a brother who had epilepsy, but like I´ve said before, I´ve never had a seizure.
I don´t have an actual neurologist, cause I´m not supposed to need it. I did take the EEG with sleep deprivation but it tested negative and the neurologist at that epilepsy center, I saw him, said i didn´t have epilepsy. I also showed him an MRI of my brain.
So now my sleep doc wants me to take that telemetry test (don´t know the name). It´s an EEG overnight I think with video recording. I´m definetly taking it. He prescribed it once he saw the video of my twitches. He said those are myoclonias.
So you said you used to have sleep apnea but not anymore... but you still have night time seizures /epilepsy. How is your sleep? Do night time seizures from epilepsy make people sleep poorly?
Thanks so much for your help!!! I´ll keep you posted if it´s not trouble (this message is so long!!! jajaja)
