I don't know if its muscle twitching or just what, but I have an all over tremor type thing that I mostly only notice if I'm really still, like at night when I'm going to sleep. Its only happened since my fall and its worse when I'm over tired or upset.

Its very much like being in the bed with someone who is shaking their leg, which my husband sometimes does when he's sitting on the couch, sort of a fidgeting thing, I don't know how to describe it, but you would recognize it to see it.

For the longest time after my fall, at night, as I would be trying to fall asleep, I would suddenly yell out at him to lay still and stop shaking. This lead to a few fights because it was not him and I did not believe him. It was me.

It was only after he would get out of bed and let me lay in the bed alone and I'd still feel it that I would believe him. I had also noticed it during the day when I slept, but I often let my dog sleep with me, so I thought it was my dog, jiggling around.

My husband can feel it if he puts a hand on me while I lay still and it clearly comes from me and seems to come from somewhere in the trunk of my body, not my extremities, but its not strong enough for him to feel through the mattress. Though he is a very quick and deep sleeper. He also doesn't notice when I fall and splat on the floor 2 feet from his head.

My doctor doesn't have any real explanation for it, he can't really seem to feel it. I think I can't lie still and relaxed enough at his office for him to feel it.

I just chalk it up to some weird brain injury thing. But it does annoy me when I'm trying to get to sleep. Eventually if I just lie there and relax, I fall asleep though, I'm always so tired, sleep always takes over.
