Is this serious? is it some neurological disorder?? multiple sclerosis? |
I'm a 21yrs old college student with "good" health. The jerking and twitching right before you go to sleep, when you lay down is called a hypnic jerk, and it happens to everyone. it's not MS, though. My sister has it, as does my aunt, and neither of them have ever mentioned anything about twitching outside of the hypnic jerk. The twitching while you are sleeping is your brain sending signals to your body as it reacts to your dream. This isn't anything to worry about. Consulting a counselor on psychology may help you. I think some sort of memory in your sub conscious mind is re-emerging in your dreams repeatedly. But for sure its nothing to worry a good psychologist can easily dissolve this problem and its not a big deal. Like some others said, the twitching is normal. I watch my cat do it and I think he is dreaming of playing with a mouse. LOL. It could be any of 1,000 things, or nothing. Why don't you see a doctor? You have to see the doctor but I don't believe this is MS.. because MS always starts off with blurred vision... and some people when they wake up from a nightmare have some muscle tics.. I know that my dad often used to suddenly jilt up from a dream and sit up in bed and scared my mom half to death and he wasn't even aware of this.. he went right back to sleep and had no idea... muscle twiches are more likely a sign of some form of epilepsy.... but Multiple sclerosis starts slowly and the first sign in 99 % of cases is blurred vision first.. but tell your doctor about those twitches... and have a brain scan to see if this could be a sign of a mild form of epilepsy.... it might have something to do with medication you are on.. if you are on medication... all those factors have to be taken into account and the doctor is the only one who can really evaluate them so I would not get worried too much now.. it might be nervous... it might be temporary but I am sure it is not MS....if the twitching happens in your dreams then it's just a nervous twitch like with my dad and nothing to worry about..Sometimes also if you are a nervous person. and suffer from anxiety related problems your body can tense up... and we all had a cramp in our foot at one time or another.. at least I had.. a painful cramp and it lasts for a while and I can't move that foot but it goes away again.. that doesn't mean I have MS.. you don't have it.. as a health care worker we had to learn the signs about MS and twitching is one of the signs but that happens after the illness has progressed already.. in most cases it starts with blurred vision and I know you don't have MS... xx |
