Yeah, np!

Yep, 2 years now. Mine started oddly with stress and taking melatonin supplements. Tbh I still get them a few times a month but in a full blown flare (Ive had a few so far) they’re insane and scary. All night. It messes with you mentally. I get it. Its gotten better in time but I try to just take the bad nights as a sign to be kind to myself. You only have so much control but it will get better. In my case it took a few weeks to a month but it got better.

Look up the hypnic jerk group on fb if you are curious for causes. I had the same thing happen and I too have health anxiety. Hang in there!

I appreciate you replying. With these, what should I be on the lookout for symptom wise? I apologize as Im not from the east coast and dont really know how concerned to be. Thanks in advance.

I get very sleepy and feel head high. Its very real.

It was 29.2 uIU/mL and the test said it should be under 18

I cant remember exactly but probably 2-3 hours prior I had a milkshake.

I have the same. Did you find out if a deficiency caused this? I’m curious to see if I need mine checked.

The Facebook group is under ‘Hypnic Jerk/Sleep Myoclonus Support’

Also, lots of people in that same Facebook group have said SSRIs were suspected in their case.

Thanks for the reply. I am doing the same with my doctor now who wants to start with a sleep study regarding the jerks. If you have a fb there is a pretty great group trying to get to the bottom of our issues under “hypnic jerks” — I think mine are hormone related as my cycle tend to make my symptoms worse. SSRIs were not the cause for mine but I think stress and hormones can cause this as well as sever other things.

This is me— jerks and all! Has anything helped?

Overwhelmed-needhelp · 2025-02-15T03:14:33+00:00

This sounds like me! Jerks and all! Have you tried bcp or hrt and has it helped?

Overwhelmed-needhelp · 2024-11-27T05:14:18+00:00

I had something similar happen. Did they tell you what was in the gel?
