I've even found my arm knocking things off my bedside table. Try not to worry about it too much as that will add to your stress and make your condition worse.

yes, usually right before I fall asleep. My arms and legs jerk like someone shocked me.

I am taking magnesium 250. once at night. I was taking it in the morning to but cant take it with my synthroid. but find the one at night helps with spasms and feet pain. I just get the over counter. If you decide to try it you may want to ask your doc or pharm. to make sure it doesn't mess with your other medications before you try it

They called mine muscle fasculations. I just live with it .I hit my husband a couple of times, also I woke him up when my leg jerked a couple of times. Mine even are in my stomach and back . Good luck with this, if I find out any information I will let you know.
