Question:
Does anybody know early warning signs of parkinsons disease?
Every once in a while I will be trying to fall asleep and all of a sudden my body jerks, almost like i was just struck by lightning, this does not happen every night, but every so often, can anybody tell me what this is, and if so, is it connected to parkinsons?
Answers:
I really hope not because this happens to me from time to time. :)
It's called a hypnagogic myoclonic twitch or a hypnic jerk. It can be caused by not getting enough sleep. Tremors and muscle-locking would be more symptomatic of Parkinson's disease.
