I Was Just Diagnosed. Is Violent Jerking Of Arms And Legs At Night A Common Symptom Of PD?
Just when I get relaxed for a night's sleep my legs start jerking and my arms flail. It only lasts a few seconds but happens again a few minutes later and again and again. I'm also feeling muscle spasms in my back when it happens. This happens nightly with soreness and stiffness the next morning.
I have that extended release pill it seems to do fine. No problem so far
That's what my doctor did, and he gave me an extended release pill for night.
I take another Half dose of my med ( carbidodopa/levodopa) it takes 30 to 45 minutes for it to be effective, but it works. Ask your doctor if that's ok for you.
Thank you Windy. I had an appointment with my doctor last week. She upped my med. I actually slept thru the night last night!
Yes, jerking is part of PD. I even felt down from the bed twice! Now I use something to protect my side of the bed. You can get it from Amazon.
