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.

I know this is hard for you.
It is at times but I am coping ok at this stage
I hadn’t heard of a powerfit before and looked it up. I wonder how prevalent they are in the US.
I love mine, I don’t know why it helps settle my body but it does and I feel the vibration helps with the blood flow to my feet, and when I am feeling stiff it helps everything loosen up.
That is marvelous.
Dearest Jo-Anne,
Well, certain uncontrollable spasms in foot or leg, I know of since my surgery in the groin area for placing stent–graft for tear in aorta. Read together with Pieter that it causes quite a high number of amputations so I’m not complaining!
Most of the time I’m by myself so it is not seen… and I don’t care! Being alive is what counts.
My certified Podologist also knows how to deal with my uncontrollable foot spasms and I feel safe in her hands. But would not dare to go to any of the local nail salons…
So very true that feeling stressed worsens certain conditions and not feeling rested well also is a big factor.
Wishing you well!
Hugs,
Mariette
I know that parts of my body are moving when I am out shopping but if people are looking at me so what I don’t notice, I’m more focus on not ending up on the ground to be concerned about what others may be thinking. Also I rarely go out
Absolutely—falling is a serious focus for us at this stage! Let others figure it out once they enter at worse health times…
