    the medication the person is on could be one of the causes of the jerking but the person really needs to contact their doctor to get a final diagnosis. my father jerks constantly and it's because he is on ABH, morphine, ativan rub, and dilaudid, just to name a few. please encourage this person to see their doctor :)
