Hi,

Jerking, painful tremors are not an MG symptom. She needs to be seen by her doctor. Also, although this sounds cruel and insensitive, if you could get a short video of the episodes, it might help a great deal when you speak with the doctor.

So sorry this is happening. MG is tough for everyone, but something about an older person dealing with this really hurts my heart.

Yes, a video would be a good thing to have. And a doctor visit. Do you think she could be jerking and having tremors from sheer exhaustion from the effort of traveling from bedroom to kitchen? Some kinds of involuntary jerking are called myoclonus, you could Google it and see if that's close enough to what your mom is experiencing to ask your doctor about.
