Very interesting! I had done some research last month and discovered a Canadian Lyme forum where several members were discussing their sleep/nocturnal myoclonus symptoms.
How long did it take before you were diagnosed? Did you take the Igenex panel? How long did your symptoms worsen (when you took antibiotics). What co-infections do you have? How long have you been under treatment and how much improvement have you seen?
My nocturnal myoclonus was being triggered by strenuous exercise/metabolic stress, extreme temperatures, exposure to chemicals, foods, and cosmetics high in salicylates. I have been dealing with it for five years but the first 1.5-2 years, I was so sleep deprived and tortured I thought I was going to die. I had many other symptoms early on but no-one would help me. I had a stiff neck, light sensitivity, muscle/body aches, night sweats, memory loss/brain fog, worsening GI problems (later discovered I had dysbiotic bacteria) pain in my hips, blurry vision (still triggered by the heat and certain exposures) and the list goes on.
I have already experienced extreme hyperactivity after being exposed to ceratin chemicals that contain salicylates or other chemicals (benzoates are the kiss of death for me and are a salicylate). I would be upall night wired and having body jerks.
I lived in Fl. and would go to the pool and/or beach almost every week. I was poisoning myself everytime I used suntan lotion (it contains benzoates). I would be up all night and felt horrible for a few days after.
The "Kicker" is that I had to take steroids (the kiss of death) two years ago when I had to stop taking my GI meds (they contain salicylates) because I had the worst GI flare of my entire life. I thought I was going to die from taking them..now I know why!
