I had rabies shot last Aug - sept after being bite by a wild cat , the last shot had a real hot feeling go up the back of my neck up in to my head
not to long after that I started having times I wake up after beenig asleep jerking
it getting worse now it wakes real early most f the time can't go back to sleep
they started me on meds for rls helped the first few nights now it back I jerk so hard it feel's like I'm almost sitting up also taking a natural sleeping adie so tired hope some may know doc say Wait awhile .

sounds like myclonus jerks, specifically hypnic ones. and also RLS restless leg syndrome. I had this for 2 weeks after i developed onset of PN. Did the jerks begin right after shots without any medication? do you take any other medicaiton.
my experience- was few days before, when i took benadryl and dextro,acetomeniphen, phenyleprine. does the sensation of jerk, when you lie down feel like a wave sensation in your leg(twitching), thats what happens to mine. I still do get random jerks here and there, but nothing like the intense jerks from last year, does your heart rate also go up when you have myclonic jerks?

You might read about magnesium lotion and/or supplements, it helps for my RLS.

Even an Epsom salt bath might help before bedtime.

Of course drs will always suggest meds instead of alternatives..
