lurkingfor cure,

I get spastic, jerky, random movements of my limbs for no reason (exactly as you describe) most often legs than arms though. There is no pattern or correlation to anything I do and these are g]osudden movements. So far havent done anything about them, Haven't even talked to my neurologists yet.

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.

lc,

are you familiar with myoclonic jerks? I don't know if it happens often enough to even consider this, but here's the link:

I'm pretty sure this can be temporary and med related.
