Here is some information about Myoclonus:

Exactly what I have used for my tremors and myoclonic jerks. My MS presented with these tremors, in 1978. I take Clonazepam. My nursing career suffered due to these tremors. But the drug worked.

Midway though my career, I had to switch to a NY Financial desk job.
