Default Myotonia vs Spacicity?

Hello everyone, I am currently without a solid diagnosis, but I get IVIG for this mystery neuromuscular disorder I have... I had a question about one of my newer symptoms though...

2 years ago when I first developed symptoms when the neuro would use their reflex hammer on my thumb pad my thumb would spaz! it was the craziest thing - now, since the IVIG, it really doesnt' do that anymore..

however, I have found if I raise my foot up (usually only does this at the end of the day)..and then relax it it doesnt' relax right away - it rhythmically goes down (but i have no clonus on exam or anything like that).. I turned my foot inward (bending my ankle inward).. and relaxed it and it freaked me out - it got stuck that way for a few seconds..

I don;t have muscle cramps or anything, but i have had twitching for years.. I have negative babinski/hoffmans and all the other pathologic signs..
Thanks in advance for any insight!
