I'd say if you are truly having convulsions this far into your sobriety, you might want to see a doctor and have that checked out. Congrats on your sober time. CF
Hey CF,

No they are convulsions alright. It is not a jerk back from the ledge, but a full on clenching/arching of the body. They are not as violent as the first night and are getting less violent each time. Funny thing is that they don't happen every night. They seem to occur on the nights that I don't sleep well.

Ta otherwise.
