Hi Bill, Dyskenesia feels like writhing, uncontrollable involuntary movements which I used to experience quite severely until I started on Cabaser (Cabergoline) which totally eradicated it. I too experience the jolt you mention when falling asleep at night, but I don't think it comes under the heading of dyskenesia, perhaps someone else on the list may be able to explain this.
