Body Jerks

Posted by Ann Smith on June 27, 2001 at 11:28:26:

My husband "jerks" during the night. I think this may be Myoclonus but he has no memory of it and the only person that is awakened by his jerking is me. Sometimes he "jerks" 20 times a night and they are so bad that they shake our king size bed. How do I help him deal with this to stop his "jerking"?
