Re: [TMIC] RE:THE MUSCLE TREMORS QUESTION
YOU BEAT ME TO IT, I FOUND THE SAME WEB SITE, BUT DID NOT FIND TONUS. I THINK IT IS A DERIVATIVE OF TONE AS IT WAS DESCRIBED TO ME BY MY PSYIATRIST WHO WAS A QUAD AND HE WAKED WITH THE AID OF HIS TONUS AND CANADIAN BRACES. HE SAID WITHOUT HIS TONUS, HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO. IT IS A CONTINUED AND LONG IN DURATION MUSCLE TIGHTENING. WHATEVER IT IS AND WHATEVER CALLED, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SIT UP AND TRANSFER AS EASILY OR BEND OVER AND BACK. I DO KNOW ONE MORE THING I EXPERIENCE, AND THAT IS IF I GET AN ITCH ON MY SKIN, IT WILL CAUSE A CLONUS-MYO- OR NOT, EXPECIALLY IF ON THE BOTTOM OF MY FOOT !!!

I searched for that online and found a definition in http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/clonus.html which says: "Clonus is repetitive, rhythmic contractions of a muscle when attempting to hold it in a stretched state. It is a strong, deep tendon reflex that occurs when the central nervous system fails to inhibit it. Clonus is not the same thing as myoclonus, which is irregular and uncontrollable jerks of a muscle or group of muscles. " I looked up myoclonus as well, which is defined as: "Myoclonus describes sudden and uncontrollable jerks of a muscle or a group of muscles. The word, "myoclonus", comes from "myo" meaning muscle and "clonus" meaning twitch. It can happen at rest (negative myoclonus) or with movement (positive myoclonus). Myoclonus can occur infrequently or every few seconds and can range in severity from a minor irritation to a disabling symptom that can make walking or other activities very difficult. Some myoclonic jerks are quite normal - hiccoughs (hippcups) and the twitches as you fall asleep are both examples of myoclonus. However, myoclonus is often associated with neurological or biochemical conditions including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, stroke, spinal cord injury, kidney or liver failure and lipid storage disease. Other forms occur in the absence of any other disease. Myoclonus in one or both legs during the night is known as Noctural Myoclonus or Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) and can also occur in the absence of any other disease. Myoclonic jerks are often seen during epileptic siezures. Although it can be caused by damage to peripheral nerves, most forms of myoclonus are caused by problems in the central nervous system. The precise mechanisms unlying it are not fully understood and it is possible that the different forms may have different causes. Some people speculate that it results from a chemical imbalance in neurotransmitters causing nerves to become over-excitable. Another theory is that nerve signals from the brain, that would normally suppress these primitive reflexes, may be prevented from getting through by nerve damage. Clonazepam, Piracetam, Sodium valproate, Phenytoin and Primidone and several other tranquilising or anti-epilepsy drugs are often used to treat myoclonus. " Myoclonus sounds like what I am experiencing. Also found an interesting web site at http://www.wemove.org/ -- a lot of info. on movement-related disorders. Barbara H.

THAT WAS THE STUFF I WAS TOLD WAY BACK IN 1994 BUT, WHAT DO I KNOW, I AM USUALLY WRONG THESE DAYS SINCE I DON'T KEEP UP ON THE STUFF, I JUST GOT TM AND GET ALONG WITH IT ANY WAY I CAN.

[TMIC] RE:THE MUSCLE TREMORS QUESTION
IVE HAD THAT PROBLEM SINCE A YEAR AFTER ONSET OF SYMPTOMS,I HATE TO DASH ANYONES HOPES,BUT THIS IS CALLED MUSCULAR CLONES,SORRY IF THE SPELLING IS A LITTLE OFF,IT USUALLY FOLLOWS SPASMS.THEY ARE AN INDICATION OF NERVE DAMAGE AND NOT IMPROVEMENT. I TAKE 2MG OF CLONOPIN IN THE AM AND 2 AT NIGHT,THIS USUALLY STOPS IT ALONG WITH STRETCHING.I WAS TOLD THIS BY SEVERAL THERAPIST AS WELL AS DOCS.THE NERVE IMPULSES ARE TRYING TO GO TO WHERE THEY NEED TO BE ,BUT ARE GOING ELSEWHERE,THUS SPASTISITY. IN SIMPLE TERMS MINI SPASMS.I FIND THEM ANOYING AT TIMES,BUT HAVE LEARNED TO PUT UP WITH IT. IF THIS IS THE SAME THING YOUR EXPERIENCING.JUST A POSSIBILITY.
