Hi everyone,
I just joined this tribe.
I have experienced some of what you have listed above on the opening page of this tribe. I have it mostly when I sleep or almost asleep at night. My legs or arms jerk. It sometimes freaks me out and wakes me up when that happens. I never use to have this and I noticed it has been happening more often. Does anyone know what causes this and if there is anything can be done about it? I would like to know about others experiences with this and if anything has helped them. Nice to meet everyone!

Fri, November 19, 2004 - 10:29 AMi find that puchning yourself, although inneffective, is certainly satisfying . . .
i am only half joking.
there are several meds that doctors prescribe for it . . . i had an rx for mirapex. It seems to work, but unfortunately takes about an hour to kick in. Percocet works even better & more quickly, but it is difficult to get an RX for, especially if you are young . . . -
