Default myoclonic jerks

Hello

Ive been dealing with palpitations for a number of months now and starting to wonder if the myoclonic jerks are related. I mostly get the jerks in my hands and feet, but sometimes my butt and hamstrings sporadically twitch too. I get this while sitting at work or driving home. I get about 10 an hour which seems excessive. Could these be caused by stress of dealing with the palpitations ?

I have an essential tremor in my hands and recently my TSH was .37

Thoughts suggestions welcome.

Thank you.

Hello neurotalkuser79,

I can't help you with your questions I'm sorry, but I just wanted to say welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.

Are you on any medications? I also wondered if the palpitations you mention are fasciculations?

If you want you could also try searching for specific keywords such as "Myoclonic Jerks" or "essential tremor" using the forum search feature. That will bring up any previous posts/threads.

I would imagine there are tips on the
Vitamins, Nutrients, Herbs and Supplements Forum
as well.

Default jerks or seizures

I had a epidural for my disc l5s1 herniation.The should have listenedto the reviews on the doc.I got there and was given a long list of possiable problems with the shots.I had to sign that the doc told me about them .Then I got in the room and no xray machine.Then i asked for a sedative and he told me non required.He worked very fast and then it hurt alot and I jumped from the pain.After the shot my parkinson was much worse and I could hardly walk.A few days later I started having what I know now as myoclonic seizures.Ive had them since on and off since then and sometimes can hardly walkor my arms are blindly flailing around .
Now on top of advanced PD i got uncontrollable seizures>All because a doctor could care less.
To make things worse I have found few doctors who will help me.Ive even had to fight just to get a aEEG which I still havnt yet
I try to be positive and say there are good doctors out there .Hopefully Ill find a good nero someday
