A member asked:

I have been getting weird jerks in back, shoulder and leg when l first fall asleep.not all at same time.l have low iron levels could that be the cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Myoclonus: Falling asleep, this is not a problem. You may actually find the sensation pleasant. However, iron deficiency and/or anemia is extremely serious and a cause needs to be found and addressed. Be proactive. Best wishes.
