i could be sitting or even laying down in the bed and all of a sudden my body will shake like some one put my hand in an electric socket. no it doesnt hurt it is like a nerve got hit and sometimes it will be two in a row. only serious answers please, i am just curious to what it is if even it would have something to do with this neuro disease i deal with. or even with that why i just sit and bounce my leg up and down. like i am rocking a baby on one leg it goes up and down without me even knowing i am doing it

no i dont drive but the neuro disease is myasthenia gravis, not seizures or anything. and the meds i am on are mestinon, prednisone, cellcept, potassium. those are the main ones. myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular illness in similarity to muscular dystrophy it weakens your involuntary muscles at excess usage or too much anticholinesterase prohibitors to the nerve endings when not getting the message to do what the brain tells it to do. sometimes can be stress or too much heat or virus or illness that would exacerbate it or even meds need to be adjusted. thank you for your concern on the illness. the jerks are not to throw my body but enough to be noticed by me.

I really wish I had an answer for you, but it would be helpful if you could tell us about your neuro disease. I really think this is something you should discuss with your doctor.

I suggest you document how often these occur, what time of day, and show it to your doctor.
you mention that you have a neuro disease but don't mention any medications. It could be your disease or the medications acting up. You definitely need to get your doctor on top of this. It could be dangerous for you to drive. You could lose control.

I would talk to your doctor about it. It might be something as mild as needing more calcium or you could be having mild seizures.

Well I looked it up and they are symptoms of anxiety. Ask your doctor what can be done about it.
