jumping when sleeping and bone pain

[BOY14]

Hi

I should have been taking Metformin around about January this year, but have been too scared to start it. I tried getting Sugar down and did do so with a Ketosis diet - was 90 it is now 63. Over the last 3 months as I am going to sleep my legs suddenly and fast jerk jump, this also happens with my body it is like a hiccup reaction, and has got to the stage where it is happening right after the last jump within 1 to 2 seconds. I did have restless legs but this stopped and turned into the jumping. Also my body hurts, and my left elbow the bone was intensely hurting.

So this week Tuesday I took my first metformin. That night my body never jumped and the pain seems to have gone. However, the second night the jumps have come back a bit. Any insight into any of this. I don't have the jerks when awake.

I think you need to see your GP, the jerks and jumping could be anything and really need checking out

I tend to get this if I'm not getting enough salt in my diet, (and cramp too)

I have seen my GP they don't have a clue, said they were going to ask a Colleague but never got back to me. The only thing I can think off is Diabetic Neuropathy, but I do not have sudden jumps in day time. I noticed it began when I stopped Simvastatin for two weeks. I was having restless legs sleeping real urge to run, but then I started Simvastatin again and that is when the jumps of legs and lower body started.

I would be going back to my GP wanting answers and a referral to a specialist, not everything is down to diabetes you really need to know why this is happening to you instead of trying to guess

I will get back in touch with them on Monday. Thank you all for your replies. Truly appreciated

When I had twitchy jumpy legs when first going low carb, I found adding salt and magnesium citrate helped

Dunno about jerks, but the bone pain you mentioned in the header, for me, has been a life-long thing until I got my vitamin d sorted... If you used to get the bulk of yours from spuds, you might want to try adding in some salmon twice a week or so.
