Parkinson’s Explained-Dyskinesia

Diagnosis Date: May 25/2012 Video Date: Feb 05, 2023

Dyskinesia can involve one body part, such as an arm or leg, or the entire body. It can look like fidgeting, writhing, wriggling, head bobbing or body swaying. Dyskinesia tends to occur most often during times when other Parkinson’s symptoms, such as tremor, slowness and stiffness, are well controlled.

Just adding this as to the above.

Most of the time I don’t even know I am moving. In the video here I knew I was moving but didn’t realize it was this much.

I don’t usually have any pain while this is happening.

Don’t know if this is usual or just to me but I find it happens after a activity that requires the combination of various senses and activity.

So am trying to figure out if this related to the burst to initiate the movement and/or length of the activity. And if this factors into the duration of the dyskinesia.

What ever I sure realize that my Parkinson’s keeps me on my toes😀

Have Fun and be a Warrior
