Yes - add to another irritating list of sx! Does anyone else suffer from this?
For those of you who may be unfamiliar with this term, it's when the muscles contract and the nervous system can't initiate the "turn off switch" to stop it. It mostly affects the legs - at least mine does and it's a huge deal!
One time when my neuro was doing the standard test of tapping on my knee, my leg shot up and kicked her in the shoulder! No kidding!
Sometimes it hits for no reason at all.
But the strangest thing happened today. I was out watering my garden and my feet got really hot so I turned the hose on them. Yikes~~ My now cold feet and ankles were jumping all over the place and I ended up falling.
Is there anything that can be done to stop or alleviate this sx? Any meds or ??
