Could you post here or private message me the 8 different types of Myoclonus. I have no problems with sleep. Jerks are 2 feet high just before falling asleep or when drowsy during the day after a meal when leaning back to read or watch T.V. First I was told I had Restless legs. Then I found Period leg motion syndrome. Now I realize I have Myoclonus Syndrome. I am a retired Physical Theraipst and know too much. Thoughts on medication
