Hi Malawgirl,
I have read all the responses. I think I know what you are talking about and I think I also have it.
They are not like the normal jerks I have had on occasion. These are much worse. Actually, I said to my husband they scare me then I can't go back to sleep. I have actually gotten to the point that I try not to go to sleep until I can't hold my eyes open for fear of having them. From what I just read here that may make it worse.
Believe it or not I have not researched a reason for it. I just assumed it was yet another symptom of this disease! I figured there was nothing anyone could do about.
Just want you to know you are not alone.
