Hello, @arunhari, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Sounds like you've managed the myoclonic epilepsy for a long time. Sorry to hear you now have sleep myoclonus, and a great deal of stress.

You may be interested in this Mayo Clinic information specifically about myoclonus: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/myoclonus/symptoms-causes/syc-20350459

I'm hoping some of the members in this discussion can tell you a bit about how they have managed their (or a loved one's) epilepsy and whether they have experienced sleep myoclonus, like @dawn_giacabazi @jakedduck1 @bonnieh218 @valm. @patrassi may also have some insights.

How has the sleep myoclonus affected your sleep quality, @arunhari?
