My legs jerk in my sleep. Sometimes it wakes me up they jerk so hard. Restless leg syndrome is part of FIBRO.

Thank you @A MyFibroTeam Member, thats very interesting, as my husband is waiting to see sleep apnea clinic. I will mention this to my doctor. Its funny you've said that because I have apparently just started snoring quite loud! X Take care have a nice day. X

I have restless leg syndrome. From what I understand it is normal with fibro. I often find it hard to get comfy or wake up and my blankets are everywhere. I get the body teitches but only when I am awake.

@ Yes I get this as well but my whole body, not just a leg or arm I do get woke from them quite often and find that it is happening more frequently. It refers to sudden, involuntary jerking of a muscle or group of muscles. Myoclonic twitches or jerks usually are caused by sudden muscle contractions, called positive myoclonus, or by muscle relaxation, called negative myoclonus. Myoclonic jerks may occur alone or in sequence, in a pattern or without pattern. They may occur infrequently or many times each minute. Myoclonus sometimes occurs in response to an external event or when a person attempts to make a movement. The twitching cannot be controlled by the person experiencing it.

I have involuntary movements too, my doctor said it's nothing to worry about and just normal with fibromyalgia. I'm not on meds so I doubt it's a side effect.
