OP

(Anonymous) 2018-01-20 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
