5 year old jerking
by katiejmarr, Dec 04, 2008 02:27PM
My daughter is 5 and I just read an article on this website about a similar story. My daughter has always jerked alot in her sleep. It is causing her to be delayed a bit in school. We had a sleep study and met with a neurologist. All agree it's not seizures but Non-Rem Parasomnias or basically a bad case of Restless Leg. We've tried Lorazapan and Neurontin. Both make her sleepy during the day. I am searching for the cause so we can treat that instead of treating the symptoms. I tried calcium and that completely did the trick for about 1 month. Now I'm trying calcium and iron. Her iron was just a bit low but figured it was worth a try. What else could be causing this? Allergies? Hypoglycemia? Any suggestions you have would be wonderful. Thanks you! Katie Marr

Magnesium might be worth a try. It balances calcium and relaxes muscles, where calcium contracts them.
