Question Dew Takes a Fall(jerking spaz attack) while Sitting in Computer Chair

I had been up all night, again( still reeling from IME doc visit)...and will have to take a nap,today! I am sooooo tired.The fog is starting to lift here this morning;however, the humidity and downcast weather remains.

Early this morning, I had a jerking spasm so harsh that it turned my computer chair over on my right side, with me in the chair! What a pain,literally !!! Also, scared me to have no control over the jerking episode.

My right side(ribs) hurts where I jerked against the right side of the arm of chair and hit the floor..nothing broken, just bruised some. My pride more than anything else..what if that happens in public? OMG!

Once on the floor, I was crying and had 3 cats that were all around me looking confused. Hubby and son were asleep. They didn't hear me crying or yelling for help. Getting up off the floor was a nightmare. The chair is an office chair on wheels..so you see the scenario better.

Now, since I told my fellas what happened, they keep asking me if I am ok...like every 15 min. Getting on my last nervy.

I have experienced the trembles in my hands,dropping things, minor leg jerks..but never such a jerk that would knock me sideways in a chair to the floor!

Have any of you experienced this form of spasm?
