@roch Hi Laurie, thank you for the response. Sorry about the username, I didn't even think about it when I made it, haha. I cannot afford an appointment with any of my providers at the moment so I haven't been able to get suggestions for treating these symptoms or what they could be caused by. In terms of how I've been treated in the past, I take mostly medications. I take topiramate for migraines, but also sertraline, lurasidone, dextro-amphetamine, and occasional hydroxyzine. I also take tylenol daily for headaches or strain and pain in the the body. I took cyclobenzaprine in the past for a temporary heart issue caused by stress, and while I'm not prescribed it any more, I still take them every once in a while if I cannot relax my body enough to sleep.
For example of struggling to sleep, last night as I was falling asleep I believe I was having hypnic jerks. I kept spasming in my legs and my head the most, but sometimes it would be my whole body, every time I let myself relax. This was right after an extreme headache that started as jaw pain, so bad that I had to try to go to bed immediately.
I know this isn't exactly what you asked but I hope it gives a little more information. I appreciate your response a lot. I'll also add a name to my profile, I didn't realize you could do that. 🙂
