Are you referring to a spasm that seems to grab your entire body in a tight grip but only lasts a few seconds? If so, I've had them off and on over my 5+ years with TM. Used to have them more often and like you said, only when I'm laying flat out in bed. I tend to sleep only on one side in a fetal position for 4-6 hours a night. Then I get up, hit the bathroom, take my first morning dose of meds and then crawl back into bed on the other side for a couple more hours. I've never been able to sleep flat on my back or my stomach due to my Scoliosis and fused spine, but I do sometimes stretch my legs out and lay on my back momentarily and that's when it usually strikes.

Has anyone else had such a thing happen? Pretty scary!
