There are two conditions that are associated with Parkinson’s Dyskinesia and Dystonia, I am not sure which of the I suffer from.
Dyskinesia is the involuntary movement of a body part or the
entire body that you can't control.
Dystonia is the involuntary stiffening or contraction of a
muscle.
It can sometimes be difficult to tell the difference between the
two, but dyskinesia more often looks like jerky movements of an arm, leg, or
face.
The symptoms of dystonia are as follows:
Involuntary and rapid blinking that you can't
stop.
A sudden tightening or turning of the neck to one
side, particularly when you're feeling fatigued or stressed.
Difficulty speaking.
A tremor in your voice.
Symptoms that worsen with tiredness, stress, or
lots of physical activity.
Dyskinesia can
involve one body part, such as an arm or leg, or the entire body. The symptoms
are as follows:
Fidgeting, writhing
or wriggling
Head bobbing or body
swaying.
It tends to occur most often
during times when other Parkinson's symptoms, such as tremor, slowness and
stiffness, are well controlled.
Both conditions are made worse
with stress, so when the uncontrollable movements start I try to take my mind
off it by focusing on something, also I find using the powerfit helps why it
helps I do not know but it does.
