jerky movements,jack in the box syndrome
Hi
Ive had PD since 2010,In 2014 suddenly I started having myoclonic type jerks mostly when I was sitting or standing still.I was on sinemet,8mg ropinerol, and just added sinemet sr bedtime.
Im a walking jack in the box.lol at times
My doctors seemes clueless thought it might be psycho,lol
I later found out ropinirole could be causing it,stopped and better but not gone.
It seems as long as I'm busy or focused(reading driving computer)they seem to be minimal.I also get a neuropathic type pain before they start often.I dont get them in bed unless I'm restless.
Well I've added comtan and slowly dropping my cl down to 1 tab 4 times with comtan half a pill.
I also found drinking more water and seem to help.
I still get mixed reviews from my doctors so for now sadly it"s mostly up to me.
If you have any help on this Id greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
john
