Does anyone else experience Myoclonus jerking? Is it a part of FMS?

'dystonia or fibro' just answered my question for me. Cheers!

ah, ok Jules, I didnt know that! I look forward to reading the info!

Yes, this can be due to Fibro, especially sleep myoclonus. But it should be properly checked out.

This is a good article from a reputable source on myoclonus:

Myoclonus Dystonia is horrid.

I am in the middle of being tested for this. I have had one EEG that came back normal but they have got worse so they now want to do a 48 hour one.

My jerks vary in severity but they are always visible to others.

I have punched my hubby numerous times through twitches. I hurt myself loads from hitting things. I drop things from twitching as well. I get the twitches in my feet, legs, back, neck, hands and arms. I also get the eye twitch which can be part of it.

I find that they are worse if I am concentrating on something. Watching TV, reading and using my PC. I also get tremors.

I had to (as normal) fight to get tested at all. You need to speak to your GP and ask them to be referred to a Neuro so they can arrange the EEG.

Good Luck
