Jim had ms related seizures Momma as you know. This is one reason why he needs someone around 24/7 in case another one comes up. Since his last one he's had his meds lowered and some even stopped. It's been almost five years since the big one. The twitches/jerks you describe, for Jim, were minor after affect seizures. He would sit there and his head or arms would twitch. Even in his sleep and that was scary. His eyes would do a weird twitching thing and his shoulders would jerk.

Now, the doctors concluded that the tiny twitches/jerks were from the big grand mal he had. He said to think of it like an earthquake. Usually after a earthquake you have residual tremors. Does that make sense?
