Interesting - when I play the piano, concentrating on playing the right notes seems to increase any dyskinesia I might be having, and I find myself squirming. Anyone have thoughts on why this happens? (I don't think it's related to the fact that you would squirm if you heard me play.) Phil Tompkins
