It has calmed down quite a bit since, and I can't recall the last time I jerked suddenly, or more than a little twitch almost, but I do still shake when lying down and before going to sleep.

The interesting thing is before my PN began, when i first took diphenhydramine for supposedly "contact dermatitis" it is where my myclonus started, at first it was just 1 time jerks, but it became wierd as it involved both legs at once, sometimes the digits. When my PN began my myclonus just took off, constant movement with jerks, i first noticed it wouldnt stop when i was in the ER in jan, which the doctors did not pick up. Myclonus usually involves the brain though.
