Once I am asleep I'll usually wake myself up with my arm or leg jerking. Tricia and I were talking about this the other day...wondering if it has anything to do with the body relaxing enough to not be able to stop the movement.

Kelly - I asked about this yesterday at the neuros. We were right about the conscience helping out with the jerking but in a sleep state it is totally different. She did say that some of my "jerking" and spasticity like that can be due to fatigue and overdoing it.

Also, she mentioned that with the cooler temps at night and adding blankets on the bed the weight of them could be triggering and/or adding to the nocturnal myoclonus activity. Time to reevaluate my blankets. LOL

I need to learn to pace myself. I seriously don't know how.

Me, either, Trisha. On the days I have extra energy and feel like doing things....I do them! I just try not to worry about the after-effects. I just try to enjoy what I can while I can.

Me too! And then when the after-effects hit, I kick myself for doing too much. LOL One day of being "on" can mean 2 to 3 days of being "off" and in fatigueland on the couch. UGH! It happens to me all the time. You would think I would learn but NO. Guess I just blow the Pavlov (sp??) dog theory to he!!. LOL
