Thank you all for the info. I can see where a neurophycologist may be a good step. After writing my earlier email, I called my doctor and talked to the nurse about the referral. My doctor, (bless him) has made a referral to a movement disorder specialist in the big city (Seattle). Now its in the hands of my insurance company. I can relate to some of you that have had to go from doctor to doctor before P diagnosis. I went through that with getting my son's diagnosis with autism. At 4 1/2 yrs old it was obvious to everyone! (except the doctors at group health). Charlie, you asked about the mellirill (I can't spell) dosage I was on. I can't remember. That was 27 years ago. I was having problems centering around my parents divorce. I was on it for about 6 months while in a juvenile lockup facility. My dad sent me to a psychiatrist after I got out because my acting out. The psychiatrist put me back on melliril but at a much too strong of a dose. All the muscles in my body became rigid (tongue too). That was the last time I have taken it. All I really remember was being curled up in a tight ball, drooling because of the tongue sticking out my mouth and the pain of my muscles. I was like that for about 24 hrs. I only brought it up to my neuro because I had previously told him that I had no allergies to medications, and had not taken tranquilizers before as an adult. It was his response that didn't fit. He came a few inches off his chair. That's the only reason I brought it up to the list on my first post to this list after joining. God Bless ya all! David M.
