Hi ladies. I know that some people are woken up by their legs suddenly moving but has anyone experienced this in their hands. Lately, I have been woken up by my hand making a sudden jolting motion or when I’m awake I can see one or three fingers twitching. I suffer with insomnia so the little sleep I do manage to get is being disrupted by these hand jolts.
Me! or at least something similar. my hand or fingers would make movements just as I was about to fall asleep and it would jolt me awake because it felt strange. It started about 2 years ago. I am 42. not positive I am in perimenopause but my cycle started changing around the same time. I pray it stops for you! I eventually had to get on medication for it because it caused me such anxiety I couldn’t sleep. Try not let it stress you out as that will make it worse. Good luck!
Thanks Kelle. I’ve been stressing about it for a while now because it’s such an odd symptom and not many ladies have it. I’ll have to talk to my dr about it and if there’s anything that I can take. What have you been prescribed? Take care of yourself and I hope that you feel better soon.
Thank you for the well wishes! I was prescribed clonazepam. Probably not the best medicine to be taking but it has helped me to get on with my life and not staying awake all night. I pray your dr can help you!! good luck
