Has anyone experienced or heard of these couple of strange things? I've noticed lately that I have a slight tingling sensation going down the left my face (feels like it's under the skin), through my lips, then I get a "snicker" twitch. No that's not a twitch for a Snicker's bar, it's the kind that may looking like snickering.

The other really strange thing is I've had an odd type of hiccup develop. It comes like a single "hup" (that's an unfulfilled hiccup!), then nothing else for maybe hours! Is this a diaphragmatic spasm?

Sure appreciate any feedback you can offer. Thanks!

Can't say that I have experienced either of those things, though I did get a smile with your candy bar reference. For me, it's likely to be sweets cravings

I will add that prior to my diagnosis, I did experience an odd involuntary closing of my eyes or rapid lid fluttering - it was only when talking to people I either didn't know well or when emotional. Clearly, there was a social anxiety component. I think it may have been an early nod to blepharospasm which sometimes goes along with PD. Oddly, since I developed real PD motor symptoms, this early eyeball issue does not happen anymore.

My big indicator that I had PD and not just Essential Tremor was foot cramping, mainly my toes and arch. Unfortunately, that has not gone away

Hope someone else can shed some light on this for you.

Laura, I have that eye thing going on too! That is the most annoying thing. Mine happens just about anytime I am talking, but gets much worse as the day wears on. Gee, I hope it does go away! So glad you mention that!

My throat makes a quick gurgle noise sometimes ...like the esophagus spasms

[coachmomlu]

aunt bean, that sounds uncomfortable! does it cause you to choke?

It is mostly and odd noise. Once I had a tingly sensation on my right leg (the one I turn and drag if low on dopamine) It started in the mid back of my calf muscles and would stay there for seconds, then move down a couple inches.(it kind-of felt like very low current electric impulses) When it got to my heal, it started back up in the same manor (but a couple inches over on the calf ) until it reached about the starting level again...then it was done. It never happened again. This happened after I started taking my fava tincture. My friend said it sounded like a blockage in a meridian. After it happened, my leg was less restless.
