The twitching is another thing I experienced and was controlled somewhat by the anti-seizure meds I was put on in the beginning.
Others will be by to give you better advice, just wanted you to know you are not crazy and def not alone.
Keep us updated on your progress.

Thanks for the welcome. Do your doctors/therapists say the twitching is a PCS thing that should improve? Has it stayed or gotten worse since October? Have you also had any extended/prolonged episodes of twitching?
I've heard bad things about anti-seizure meds, including that they tend to slow down mental processes. I am (was? *sigh*) an engineering PhD candidate and I'm concerned about *anything* that could slow me down more since I want to get back to my research.
Of course, even if my mind is sharp again, I can't work in the lab if I can't predictably control my movements.
Ah well, it's a moot point, until/unless I let this situation force me to wean my daughter early.
Thanks and sorry for all the questions.
