jean-
It could be dyskinesia but not necessarily. Dk most often involves the face, neck, and head, so this is borderline to that. Is there any pattern to it vis-a-vis medication, esp sinemet. i.e. beginning of dose? end? peak? If you cut back on a dose does the following suspected Dk diminish?
I don't think there is one darned thing about PD that is simple!
