Marling, I don't think that your "shudder" is the start of getting a mask. A mask is a freezing of the muscles of the face. As far as I know freezing is not usually following a kind of dyskinesia. I think it sounds, this word may seem improperly used in this silent way of communicating,but it is sound when taken metaphorically, to be a symptom of Gilles de la Tourette. I don,t intend to say you suffer from this disease next to your Parkinson. G. de la T, is a disease which is caused by too much dopamine in certain regions in the brain. So it seems possible to react on the levadopa medication with a symptom of this disease. But as reacting on levodopa with hallucinations, does not indicate one is schizophrenic your "shudder" though being a symptom of G.de la T. does not indicate you are suffering from that. If your "shudders" come when you are "on" my supposition might be right, If they come when you are "off" my supposition is almost certainly wrong.
