Yep that's Tourettes. My dad has a friend that does that and he was diagnosed with Tourettes.

Guys I was reading something online last night that some psych drugs cause tremors as sideeffects. Since a lot of people on WP take those I thought I would mention it. I don't remember where I read that as I've slept since then. I don't take psychmeds so I don't know why I tremor. Actually I feel more like I vibrate internally. I've appointments coming up to see both a neurologist specializing in brain injuries and a board certified neuropsychologist for another evaluation. (since I found out the neuropsych I went to before is not even licensed and she just gave very little insight to what problems the head injuries caused) The neurologist told me if she determines I have dystonia they will send me to a movement disorder neurologist for injections. I suppose its a possibility I have tourettes. I'll let you guys know if the doctors ever figure out anything.

Wow a form of tourettes or Parkinsons!!

Not sure what mine is, I've had doctors do MRIs and went to a rather bad neurologist. They couldn't find anything wrong with me except those little subtle jerks in my hands.

Also I seem to have numb sensations in my fingers and hands. Not on any kind of pych meds though.

My only fear is if they'd get progressively worse from there.

I have involuntary eye blinking, very fast, under stress. I also clear my throat a lot when I'm nervous.
