When I go to bed at night and get still my body will jerk really hard. It's like my whole body tenses up and slowly releases. Sometimes it's one jerk, most times more. If I'm holding my phone or iPad I basically throw it. It's just a hard fast tensing up. I jerk so bad it hurts. I have lupus and fibromyalgia among other things.
I use muscle relaxers to calm my body and meditation every night.
Hi Jody. I have jerks like that. Some nights are worse than others. Sending prayers for you to feel better.
I take flexeril but it doesn't seem to have an effect on this.
Thank you Shirley. Have you ever asked your dr what they could be? Yes, sometimes none at all, other nights several.
Yes, it’s kind of startling. I don’t know what’s it’s from.
