Now i jerk from my torso( jackknife) which is exremely painfull. I have been put on different medication, Epilin, Requip, sinemet, rivItrol neuronton and with diff dosages.Eventually they all wear off and then I sometimes go 3/4 days of no sleep. Anybody out there with any ideas that may help will be appreciated. Being a pilot I have to be careful what I TAKE AND WHEN.:
Hi there,

I have the same kind of symtoms as you and also they can't find a thing in my brain.

I can't really help you, but I have a blog about my problems, maybe you find something there what will help you. sophiebrain.wordpress.com. if you have questions of want to mail about it (writeing helps) just let me know.

Are you still working? Changing you daily routines helped me a lot in the beginning. Now I also have Parkinson and anti-epileptic medication.

Bye Sophie
