Myclonus - Help Please!

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

 

My FIL recently underwent a quadruple bypass, after successful surgery the

following day had loss of oxygen to the brain for 7 minutes. Now is suffering

with tremendous myoclonus. He is in a rehab facility but they cannot do any

rehab because of the excessive jerking. They have been unsuccessful with

stopping the jerking without putting him completely to sleep with the drugs.

This has been going on since November. Are there any safe alternatives that

would help with the myoclonus so that he can indeed be comfortable and begin his

rehab?

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks so much,

Tiare.
