I had a car accident in April and since then, alot of strange symptoms have shown up.  First I started getting numbness in my hands and lower legs.  I went to a neurologist and he gave me a nerve conduction test , which came back negative.  A little later , I started have large and small movements of my legs , arms and fingers as I started to fall asleep.  Also at about this time, my left arm and hand started to have strange creepy feelings in it. I would develope cramps in the thumb. Sometimes the feelings felt electrical.  I went back to the neurologist,and he gave me an EMG in that arm and hand.That was also negative.  Then I started to get little muscle twitches all over my body.  I was sent for MRI of my brain. All normal.  Some times when I am very tired or stressed, my fingers in my left hand will get a quick twitich.  When all was said and done, the doctor said that I have Nocturnal Myoclonus.  Does this sound right?  I must also include the fact that I have Fibromyalgia. Could this be a form of restless leg?  Thanks for your time.
