Default Recognition

Hi, I have have heavy mussle spasms in my upper body, and tremors for about 5,5 years now. In Dutch they called the spasms Myoclonieen, so that probably the same as Myoclonus. (I don't have a medical dictionary here).

The diagnoses I have got is; Conversion disorder or functional neurological movement disorder. Or -We don't know-

But the strange thing is that Parkinson medication (dopamine), helps a great deal for me. I'm a riddle for the medical world, because all my symtoms don't add up and the medication isn't suppose to work.

The last neurologist advised to Botox injections in my backmuscles. I didn't got much information about it. In the Netherlands it's only used on this scale in a medical trial. So i'm curius to read more here.

But for now I first want to see how far I can get with the Parkinson medication.

Keep posting!

Sophie
