Has anyone had jerking body movements? For ex, if I turn my head, I feel a little jerk in my head. Also, if I reach for something my arm will jerk a little.. its happened w/my legs too.. is this part of lyme or babesia?

Yes, I have the head jerking and sometimes in my  limbs if I am lifting something heavy, etc. Are you in treatment and what does your doctor say about it? I do not have a LLMD yet so I would like to know what he thinks about the jerking.

I was thinking something with the autonomic nervous system, I have what they call autonomic deregulation. Causes things like my body temp with be up one minute and down the next. It is caused by toxins, I am also a mold injured patient.

try googleing myoclonic jerks. yours sounds like action myoclonus. i average about 9 involuntary jerks(hiccups as i like to call them) a minute. probably from injury to peripheral nerves or disturbance of the CNS. check it out.

I do not have them jerking as often.. I'd say maybe ten times per day.. Is this something that will resolve with treatment?..Now that I think about it, it was the first sign I had lyme at the end of July..
