BTW, I have CML, Recently diagnosed. Thanks 8th
Being recently diagnosed with CML and suddenly feeling more fatigued than usual — plus noticing jerking movements as you fall asleep — are things worth taking seriously. The jerking movements especially should be mentioned to your care team as soon as possible, as they'll want to know about any new or changing symptoms.
I would definitely call your Oncologist on Monday Beth & let them know ok.
Our illness does affect our energy level. I think your jerking as you relax when you sleep is muscle tension. You may be tired during the day but you do place strains on your muscles even though you may not know you are staining yourself. I think you should take a few days off and relax to see if this reduces your excess tension? Our health is greatly changed with our special illness. Regular habits can place a strain on our body that can affect the health of muscles, organs, etc. Those bad cells can attack the nervous system which is something not known in the past. I was a jogger and my legs would develop odd bruising with the skin looking pinkish, then reddish, then black and blue. It took me a long time to realize this was caused by exploding capillaries in my skin from those bad cells attacking the capillaries in my skin. I have not jogged since last summer but I do not see any odd bruising? I hope you can continue your research by joining other groups to get answers.
