Hello everyone, I am really scared about these new jerky movements. Does anyone else have ptsd and jerky movements? Like my leg will kick out or arm. It's freaking me out. I am already trying to hang on to reality and my sanity and now this has started and is really scaring me. I have suffered a lot of trauma and emotional abuse and then about 4 1/2 years ago had a mini-stroke or possibly a panic attack that left me paralyzed and unable to speak for about 25 minutes and then it went away. They did every test known to man and couldn't find anything wrong with me. I knew I was under an extreme amount of stress and was suffering mental abuse but I was so scared because no one could tell me what it (the mini stroke) was from. I remember that morning waking up and feeling like I was in a dream, almost like watching things in a movie, eerie feeling and then within like 30 minutes I felt this panic and told my husband to call 911 and he looked at me like I was crazy and I said "Just do it!" I sat down and I started to feel weak and then after a couple minutes started slurring my speech and my left arm and leg wouldn't move AT ALL. Frightening and my two young children sat there watching me and all I could think was how am I going to take care of them? I remember saying in my head "Jesus! help me please help me!" After this incident I have become constantly fearful that this will happen again and now think I have all these horrible afflictions. The jerky thing is new (past 6 months) and now has me completely in a panic. Has anyone else experienced this? Any hope?
