Anyone know? I just get it very rarely, but it will come and stay for a few days or a week, then will not have it for awhile. I am just afraid of gettig jerky, myoclonus started for me in May just a few weeks after getting head bobbing for the first time.
Head is side to side today, not up and down...had a treatment yesterday, so I know I'm herxing, but am not enjoying the neuro symptoms...liver tested weak with muscle testing too, need to hit the milk thistle.

Ocean,
I use to get this constantly. Let me clarify how I had it and occasionally still do.
For me, I think it comes from my neck being so stiff sometimes, but can't say for sure.
Regardless, my head would shake back and forth sometimes it would be happening in my sleep and would wake me. To me, it felt like I was gonna have a seizure or something, but I would sit up and then it would subside.
Sometimes, when I feel so toxic, I get this even now and my head feels like it's shaking back and forth as in tremoring, very very uncomfortable.
Again, my neck is so stiff at these times. Detoxing has helped with this symptom. Lastly, when I have this, I get scared to death, as it feels so terrible and the sensation inside the head is quite scary that I feel while this is going on.
Is this close to what your describing ?
Gary

I get the jerking of the head and I also feel like I'm about to have a seizure. I sometimes feel it coming on and that is really scary.

Gary,
My neck isn't really stiff, it has gotten stiff before, but I haven't related it to the bobbing...it's pretty gentle, can sometimes make me feel a little seasick. When I get the myoclonus, it is much more violent and scary.
The detoxing makes sense, I had my organs tested yesterday via ART and my liver was weak...so maybe it's congested and causing toxins to backup! I will do lots of lemon juice tomorrow though!
LymedOut, I have gotten a feeling like I'm about to have a seizure, but it isn't related to the head bobbing. It's weird when it's happened and (knock on wood) I haven't had it happen since July.
I'm assuming it's just die off from the treatment yesterday, my words have gotten more slurry tonight and photophobia has gotten worse as well.
