Myoclonus vs. RLS

[Guest guest]

I spoke with my Neuro on Friday and I told him what was going on

with my muscle twitches. He asked me a few questions about the

movements: Here are some of the questions he asked me: Do you get

relief when you walk, do the movements stop-----answer no. Do the

movements cause " jerks " when you are sleepy or very relaxed, answer

yes. I can be lying down on the couch at night time and actually kick

my husband. He has woken me up several times to tell me to go to bed

because I have been sleeping and kicking him, LOL! He asked me if I

FEEL THE NEED to move my legs or if they move themselves, answer I

don't ever feel the need to move them because they are constantly

moving themselves.

He listened and asked me if the Quinine is helping and after almost a

week, it has done nothing! The Neuro told me he will probably start

Klonopin-anyone taking this or tried it for myoclonus? Does anyone

know if you are more likely to have myoclonus if you already have

seizures? We don't have MERF, we have a Comples II-III def. of the

ETC.

Thanks for the help, stay warm friends if you are in the path of the

blizzard. We are expected to get down to 27 degrees here in

Melbourne, Florida.........the home of the 3 hurricanes back to back.

Seems like the weather is crazy everywhere these days. Anyway, stay

safe and warm.
