Myoclonic Jerks
 
Does anyone here have them and does anyone here have any tips on controlling them?

Mine have gotten totally out of control lately.

I have always had quite a few but have been able to "joke them away" to people.

Now I am having 30 or so a day and they are actually jerking me out of my chair and I am breaking cups and stuff. Sometimes it looks like I am doing a one woman wave. Pretty fun.

I started the meds again but those take a while to ramp up.

Thanks and Blessings!

I'm with you here on this one, I have thrown - yes, my arm launched them, not one but two coffee cups this week. :( Mine are normally worse before bed but typically when I'm trying to focus on something like cutting things, pouring things, etc. it gets worse and I will drop or fling something across the room.

It is pretty funny most of the time, but I broke my favorite cup from Disneyland so I'm kind of bitter today. I have found no way to ease them as they seem to come and go as they please. I'm be grateful if someone had some ideas!
