I allways use Theraworks ever day and I dont know what I would do without it
I do know that on top of the jerking, I also have hallucinations right after falling asleep or on awaking. Just found out that I have obstructed sleep apnea (where the throat is blocked) along with central sleep apnea (thisonehappenswhenyourbraindoesn'tsend the signal for you to breathe, it's a lot scarier to think about. ) Going to get a mouth piece to wear at night and really hoping it helps with the symptoms.
