Dyskinetic? Try this.
I just stumbled across this and thought that I would try to enlist a few white rats to see if it affects them as it does me.
Think of this as a therapy for Dk. To be repeated several times a day for several days. I got some acute relief in just the ten minutes invested.
Working over a sink, get two shallow bowls, fill them with water, cup one in each hand over the sink, and hold them in front of your body with minimal spillage.
I did this for ten minutes. I began with moderate Dk from the waist up and ended with none at all plus a relaxed feeling! Throughout, I had to focus on my arms. This diverted attention away from the other muscles. It was really unexpected. And the effect has lasted 30 minutes so far.
