nocturnal myoclonus, low magnesium? Re: Anyone else experience this?... Andy?

[Guest guest]

I might also add checking organic acids for Tricarballylate which binds very

tightly with magnesium. It is produced by an intestinal bacteria. My

daughter had it and since dealing with increased Probiotics, there has been

a noticable improvement in nocturnal myoclonus.

In health,

This to me is quite interesting... Thanks so much for mentioning

nocturnal myoclonus - I have that! What has is very different.

His was mostly in his arms. He has been diagnosed with " intention

tremors " , but that is usually with fine motor skills. But his OT, and

resource people state that those are gone!

Sleep Disorders

Nocturnal Myoclonus--Unusual Movement During Sleep

Just before some people fall asleep, they experience an

uncomfortable, but not always painful, sensation deep in the thigh,

calf, or feet. They usually find that vigorous movement eases the

discomfort enough to fall asleep, but they complain of sleepiness and

fatigue during the day. These people are generally not aware that

such episodes of repetitive leg muscle jerks or muscle twitches--

nocturnal myoclonus--are followed throughout the night by hundreds of

related awakenings. People with nocturnal myoclonus may have

involuntary movement in their legs, in addition to twitches, while

trying to relax. This condition, known as " restless leg syndrome, "

usually occurs in people who also have nocturnal myoclonus.

Like many other sleep disorders, nocturnal myoclonus often goes

unrecognized by the person who has it. It is most common in middle-

aged and older people. And, it may be inherited. Often a bed partner

or roommate must call attention to .the characteristic twitches--

repeated muscle jerks in which the big toe extends, while the ankle,

knee, and, occasionally, the hip flex. Upon awakening, some people

with nocturnal myoclonus complain of an itching-crawling sensation in

their legs, like " current going through them. "

In some cases, these disorders have been associated with too little

vitamin E, iron, or calcium, and vitamin and mineral supplements have

been used as treatment. In other cases, drugs have been found

effective, and, in still other, less-severe cases, relief has come

from leg exercises.
