Re: Rant + Request for advice

This sounds like restless leg syndrome and I recommend seeing a medial professional instead of asking anons who probably can't even name all of your internal organs.

Nah, those are hypnic jerks.

This only furthers my case.

How so? Because I know the difference between RLS (itchy/pins and needle feeling in legs that compels people to move their legs) and hypnic jerks (the sensation of being jerked awake when falling asleep).

Also, if anon doesn't have insurance they may want to try home remedies instead of wasting money for a doctor to tell them to relax more or workout earlier.

You're right! I just read up on hypnic jerks and that's definitely what I'm experiencing. I'd googled my symptoms pretty early on. But no matter what I googled, I just kept getting more and more links that were talking about Restless Leg Syndrome, which is kind of like what I'm experiencing, but also not. So I wasn't sure what to think.

I actually did go to a doctor about a month ago, described my symptoms, and she kind of dismissively said it sounded like RLS, but that I should stretch more and workout earlier and come back in a while if it continued to be a problem.

Unfortunately, none of the "treatments" for hypnic jerks seem likely to help me, since I'm 99.9% sure it's the exercise that's causing my jerks (I almost never had them before I started working out, and if I go a third night between workouts, I don't get the jerks on the third night). Still, at least now I feel like I probably know what I'm actually dealing with, which is a bit comforting. Thanks for your help, anon.
