I have a condition that makes having babies so hard on my body. About 6 months ago I too would feel something like "kicks" of course I thought I was out right crazy. I never spoke to anyone about what was going through. How could I? They'd think I was nuts!!! Well my periods have been getting so bad that I reached out to my best friend who also had the operation to see if she had experienced any symptoms with her periods since! Of course we were in the same boat. I broke down and told her I almost felt at times I was pregnant I felt so crazy just typing this out to her. I was beyond nervous she would think it was a nut case. To my surprise she also had similar symptoms. We both are researching what this could be. That's when I came across this website on Google of dr Itua Herbal Center. While scrolling through these comments I stumbled upon how he treated HIV/HHerpes also helped a woman to get pregnant with his herbal medicines. When I read what he had been going through I just broke down and cried for the longest time. Finally I got a help that I ever wanted I and my friend purchase Dr Itua herbal medicines and we both used it which was really effective it cure my cramp issues so I will recommend anyone going through some health issue to contact Dr Itua Herbal Center on E-Mail : drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Or Whats-App +2348149277967 He cure HIV/Aids, Herpes, Cancers, And other stubborn disease make sure someone here talk to someone about this who is going through the same thing as us. Ty for sharing.

It started 10 months ago one night and hasn't stopped since. I have had MRI, Cat Scan, sleep study, EEG, genetic test for PNKD. Nothing found. Alcohol stops it as well as valium but I do not want to drink every night or take pills. Currently they have put me on carbamazepine/tegretol which has reduced these episodes a little. Sleep is 5 to 6 hours at most. Fear going to sleep as I know the outcome and naps are impossible. I have tried not thinking about them but they happen anyway. Just wondering if anyone in this post has recovered or are meds the only option to control this condition.

Tried everything from western medicine to alternative treatments, including acupuncture, somatic experience, brain spotting, emotional freedom technique, massages, chiropractors, ericksonian hypnosis, neurological medicines.<br /><br />Recently the following three things together seems to be making a huge difference so far and very quickly.<br /><br />1)Drinking a lot of water everyday<br />2)Taking electrolyte pills as well as also taking magnesium<br />3)Using the Ondamed machine which is a biofeedback machine.<br /><br />Not sure if they are really helping me or just a good stretch for me but I feel fairly confident it is the above but not sure which of the three is the most important. But will keep you updated if I continue doing better.<br /><br />No harm in trying at least the first two.

And it was thanks to advice given on this site. <br /><br />My history: I started to develop persistent hypnic jerks after a bacterial infection. The infection itself was not serious but I had my first panic attack (heart jumping a beat) after taking a particularly aggressive antibiotic. The anxiety of which was so severe that my body went into ‘fight-or-flight’ mode. That same night - for six months - I had hypnic jerks.<br /><br />The jerks were so severe that I had to take zopiclone nightly to steal 5 hours’ sleep. And then they will start again early morning. Not knowing what was going on, I was plunged into a classic nervous breakdown. Doctors prescribed me antidepressant and anticonvulsants – both proved to be highly inappropriate and I suffered terrible side effects.<br /><br />At this time I couldn’t tell what was causation and what was effect. I was in pain and fear during the day and couldn’t sleep at night. I couldn’t work for a few months.<br /><br />Then I discovered this blog page and combed through every entry (seems to have been edited since two years ago). One drug, Klonopin (Clonazepam) kept being mentioned. Cut long story short, I asked my psychiatrist to put me on it and I weened myself off all the other drugs. And it worked.<br /><br />The side effect of Klonopin, being a powerful tranquilizer of particular long half life, is that it loosens your self-inhibition. Anger and laughter came particularly quick and there was a period where my usual shy personality changed into an extrovert one. <br /><br />I was diligent on reducing dosage - as most GPs would tell you the danger of these benzos – by cutting the pill every few months or so. I went from 3mg nightly to 0.5mg. <br /><br />Now, two years later, my jerks are all gone. I can take a nap in the afternoon without being knocked out of sleep at the point of drifting off. And in my case, I recognised that it’s mostly anxiety that caused it: the spiral of fear of sleep. Because I developed a fear of it happening, it in turns causes it to happen. Klonopin helped me break that self fulfilling cycle but I found that it takes time to switch your ‘flight-or-fight’ mode off. <br /><br />Obviously this is anecdotal and each case is different. With me, these days, if it does happen (and once in a while it still does), I acknowledge it and train my mind to think about something else. Two years ago I went through MRI, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, acupuncture, sleep study to make sure it’s not something else like periodic limb movement disorder. After everything was ruled out the neuro doctor suggested that it’s anxiety, and I poo-pooed the idea. Turns out he was right after all, in my case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026124802342330912.post-54163449004520673972014-03-07T21:05:08.260-08:002014-03-07T21:05:08.260-08:00I have had something like this and think it is hor...I have had something like this and think it is hormonal.

It's always in the early sleep stage, just as I'm about the fall completely asleep. I'll suddenly awake with a gasp. It usually is connected to my sleep position, anxiety, and sugar/caffeine intake for me. As long as I avoid sweets after dinner and am in a relaxed state when I go to bed, I'm okay.
