Hello, I've been dealing with a serious issue over the past 2 months and I didn't get any serious diagnosis or treatment so far. I've been to a lot of doctors. The diagnosis was hypnic jerks also known as myoclonic jerks. But how did this occur?
It all started in a very intense period of my life. I was training back then for participating in the triathlon and marathon. A few days before the competitions hemorrhoids appeared and anal fissure. Blood was coming out for around 10 days along with my stool. It took me a month to visit a doctor because I was so embarrassed. But once I've visit the doctor, that very same day something worse has happen. I cant sleep ever since. Literally. Every time I'm about to sleep my legs, or sometimes arms or shoulders jerks and dont let me go to the dreamland. Sometimes I feel like a shock in my brain and right after my anal sphincter contracts. So this is a weird case of hypnic jerks because I havent found anyone dealing with this alongside to rectal contractions.
The only way i can get some sleep is by using Zolaram 0.5mg .But I dont want to be using it for the rest of my life because of its side effects. Even when i get it, I can sleep for only six hours. The symptoms then reappear and wake me up.
During this hard period, other symptoms appeared as well. Like weak erection and ejaculation likewise weak urine stream.
One doctor thought this must be all in my mind 'case there is no way anything could have happen to cause all these symptoms because they dont relate. But I'm not crazy. It's happening. I feel that there is a problem in my pelvic floor.
I dont know if this has anything to do with spinal cord injury, but I'd like to get some opinions from here as well.
Thanks in advance, wish you get through what you're facing fast.
