I am so glad some one talked about this subject, I have been having the "body jerks" for about a year and 1/2 have had RSD right upper extremity for 5 years and pretty much has stayed in that area. I have done 3 - 5 day ketamine infusions which they think have stopped it from spreading more then it has. When I am in a flare it does spread to my face and legs but only during a flare.
The jerks are so weird I also get them at night when I am in bed trying to relax. I always thought it was the medication. I am going to ask my doctor at my next appt. Thanks for the info.

Which are mainly in my legs and in both arms.I do get tremors in my abdomen only when I get some type of a panic attack. Your right along with everyone else the worse thing is that this keeps you awake during the night. I't seems right when I am about to fall asleep then BAM-One of those jerks comes along. My problem is I can not take many meds because I have chronic IBS. I wish You the best! Breezy55  |
