Default how does dyskinesia begin?
My left shoulder keeps clenching and unclenching. It's intermittent. It's clearly moving. Anyone have/had anything like this?

thanks, jean

jean-
It could be dyskinesia but not necessarily. Dk most often involves the face, neck, and head, so this is borderline to that. Is there any pattern to it vis-a-vis medication, esp sinemet. i.e. beginning of dose? end? peak? If you cut back on a dose does the following suspected Dk diminish?
I don't think there is one darned thing about PD that is simple!
