A member asked:
Can myoclonic jerking and constant parethesias be part of fibromyagia .?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: At least not in the formal definition of fm. However, they can exist in the same individual with fm. It wouldn't be the first time i had seen these coexist. However, i would seriously look for other treatable causes of paresthesias such as peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes.
