Myoclonic Jerk

Jun 25, 2009 02:30PM - 1 comments

This started last night just after falling asleep. It started in my right leg,happened twice. Then bang goes my right arm 2 times.After that I fell asleep. I have never had that happen before at least I am not aware of it.Today I am having spasms in hands and feet.
The last 2 days have been stressful. My husband has had a fever just below the point to take him to the ER.
He seems to be slowly but surely recovering from his ruptured anuerysms. We are still waiting on an answer from SSDI. He has SSI and medicaid,but this is all. I cannot work. Two of our beautiful daughters are helping us.
My doctor told me I should be on disability. I know I should start the process. Right now it seems like a task too big for me to handle.

I would definitely start the process now - I know it's a lot to deal with.

Funny how when you're sick, it's even harder to get what you need than if you were healthy and fully cognizant of what was going on.  You have to work twice as hard to get proper care than if you were healthy.  Which doesn't make any sense!

I get myoclonic jerks in both legs when I wake up.  Sometimes they start jerking, and I have to really think about them relaxing to get it to stop.  I also have jerks throughout the day - paresthesia in my thighs will cause my legs to jump.
