Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Hello friends. I am having a rough time today as I was lying in my bed with and Lindsey trying to get them to take a nap. They are making the adjustment from crib to toddler bed and not wanting to nap. Anyway, while laying there and in the process of falling asleep, the girls were having "startles" about every 10-15 seconds. I know they are probably myoclonics. They would take in a deep breath through their nose and then startle. I am greatly upset as they just kept doing it. I counted 10 out of in less than a minute at one point. I wonder if they are doing this every time they go to sleep and if they are continuing to do it while sleeping? Thank goodness we are going for the 24 hour video EEG on the 28th so our neuro will see what is happening. Is this something I should be worried about and calling the neuro about before our appt? Is this normal for children suffering from myoclonics to do this? I feel bad that I haven't noticed this before. They have always been really good about taking their naps and going to sleep at night, it's just something I never thought about. Oh, the great mother's guilt. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
