>>Last week I had to go to the hospital. I was jerking my arms and legs and >>having weird uncontrollable head moves, as well weakness on my left side. >>The doctor at the hospital told me that I have Myoclonic Jerks with left >>sided weakness, and told me to see a neurologist right away. >>I have to wait until December to see a neroligist. >>Yesterday I woke up at 7:30 am and from 7:30am to noon, I had 27 jerks >>and it felt like electricity going in my body. >>I did a lot of research, and found the symptoms that I am suffering is >>the same as Parkinson's > > Welcome to the list. Do you take any medications? Some PD meds cause dyskinesias. I've experienced tics like you described for at least 20 years. Mine are not as violent as you described. I have maybe 2 or 3 per day. I was diagnosed with PD about 5 years ago and I take only Benztropine. (anti-cholinergic) It never occurred to me that my tics could be related to PD. -- Steve in VT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
