Rubbing Feet Together
Wed, 01/03/2007 - 21:58Ever since my seizures have become seemingly under control with the switch from Keppra to Zonegran, I have a new and mysterious habit that I can't seem to stop. I do not twitch at night before I go to sleep anymore, but now I am rubbing my feet together over and over until they are almost raw and I don't realize I am doing it until I feel the pain. I tried socks and I must rub so hard that I rub them off in my sleep. Kinda like grinding teeth only its my feet. Anybody else experience this?

Joan, Maybe it's nocturnal myoclonus. This occurs while asleep and is a form of Restless Leg Syndrome. Although it more popularly affects the legs or arms, it can also affect the ankles and toes. That would explain the feet movement. RLS; Nocturnal Myoclonus See if this is close. Hugs! -Spiz
