Default jerky movements, who has these?

This is not dyskenesia, it is more of the spastic, jerky movements I associate with MS. At first it was just at night, and I know that many many folks have jerks and twitches as they are about to fall asleep, so no big deal.

As we have progressed, though, they are coming during a full-awake phase, not even preparing to sleep. Think of an arm being flailed out, completely suddenly and randomly, just once, or a leg. It is so weird, and I have never heard anything about this with PD. Like I said, I have always thought these random, jerky flailings were more characteristic of MS, but we have PD....or, I should say, we have been told we have PD.

Anyone else have these, and if so, what do you do for them? We can't seem to find any rhyme or reason to when they occur. Thanks.
