Just wondering if others have had this.

It's like a mini spasm involving my entire head. It's not like the normal sleep start that involves a limb. Has anyone had any myoclonic jerks in their head before? After it happened twice tonight while I was trying to fall asleep, I just got up because I didn't want it to happen again.
I have experience this is it is also right when in trying to fall asleep. I'll get a bad headache get some jerks and then get whole body jerks and contractions. I'm seeing my Doctor tomorrow to discuss it and will kelp you posted.

It seems similar to 'Sympathetic Storms' you can google it.

Is this a new symptom? How long ago was your initial injury? And how long do they last and can you control them?
