Has your doctor commented at all on this involuntary movement of your finger when you drop off to sleep @tigerlilly? Will you talk more about the movement going to your arm and head and feeling as though your head is trying to fly off your neck?

I will be sleeping and all of a sudden I wake up. It feels like my head jerked side to side hard enough to wake me up. There is no pain just waking up from my sleeping. The finger and arm is the same but the finger just jumps once and the arm lifts and drops once. The involuntary movement are random, not often and activate separately. I have been doing this for 10 to 15 years but it is getting worse.

I have developed tingling in my head 2018. The tingling does not hurt. I do not feel bad after it happens. It comes and goes just as fast. It is spreading from my front right side diagonally to the back left side. Recently tingling went down my neck and shoulder. It is worse. Maybe it is related to the involuntary movements.

It could be meds I take 8 or 9 bottles nightly and sleep a lot.

My doctor said if I had a stroke then go to the ER. I do not have any after effects so it must not be a stroke. I do not know what stroke is like. I am having a MRI done of my neck and head in August.

PS: My left leg tends to go numb from bending it when I try to sleep.
