The muscle spasms would occur along with the nocturnal siezures (I would wake from a sound sleep with pretty much all of my muscles tightening and shortening, whole body shaking/vibrating, jaw muscles clenching down, urinary urgency/incontinence...sometimes I would make it to the bathroom in time, sometimes not.) These were not Grand Mal siezures where you wake up in a pool of urine and don't know what happened or can't remember the event. I always woke up when the muscles began to spasm and was aware of the whole event. It's all happening less and less as time goes on...still journaling everything in a small book. I dog ear the pages where I've had a major event so it's easier to look back and see how I'm progressing. There were also times when my fine muscle coordination was really bad, had a difficult time writing...that also shows in the journal.
