"Tardive dyskinesia is a neurological syndrome caused by the long-term use of neuroleptic drugs. Neuroleptic drugs are generally prescribed for psychiatric disorders, as well as for some gastrointestinal and neurological disorders. Tardive dyskinesia is characterized by repetitive, involuntary, purposeless movements. Features of the disorder may include grimacing, tongue protrusion, lip smacking, puckering and pursing, and rapid eye blinking. Rapid movements of the arms, legs, and trunk may also occur. Involuntary movements of the fingers may appear as though the patient is playing an invisible guitar or piano. " Hope that helps. |

I'm sorry that you are going through this
![]() I also have Myoclonic jerks/spasms in my left leg, mine however are caused by a neurological condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. I have tried SO many medications including Propranolol, Baclofen, Diazepam and many more to try and get rid of them but nothing has helped so far. My Neurologist is now thinking about trying Keppra (which is used quite a lot in people with MS and Parkinsons Disease) to see if that will try and help. Here's a video on YouTube of the spasms in my leg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIXakErNBpE Are your spasms similar to these?? I tried finding the link to your video but couldn't find it unfortunately. I hope you get some much-needed answers soon and if you have any questions, I am here for you.

If it's any consolation, you're not blind. You can appreciate the beauty of life. That it's all a matter of perspective. Also, I've read a person who was born without arms and legs. You could just imagine how that person handled life. Anyway, keep strong. |
