Wondering if this happens to anyone else

Post Reply New Topic

Sometimes I get this weird tingle/shiver inside my right ear. No matter how much I try to control it the end is always losing control of my neck muscles and shaking my head in a "no" fashion. It is extremely annoying. Ivehad this since I was a kid but lately I met someone and they seem to have the same thing happen, I also think that person may be in the spectrum somewhat.

This happens to me and sometimes my whole upper body shakes. The topic was brought up a long time ago and someone said it had something to do with the body's thermostat (sort of, I think). Maybe someone remembers the specifics.

I shake my head like that many times a day. It works like a stim for me. It's not controllable.

But in my case I think it's neurological damage beyond just autism, since the head shake began just a few months ago and has gotten worse with different meds the doctors have tried on me--namely seroquel for a while and later thorazine instead, during my hospitalizations this year for massive clonopin overdoses. I really think I fried my brain pretty good. But it doesn't matter, cause at this point my life is almost entirely in the hands of the state.

That happens to me very often. It's very hard to describe.

I get a tingle in my back then my entire upper body and head does a rapid movement part gyration then part twitch. I always thought it was normal as my parents do it too.

No idea if this is the same thing but sometimes if I'm lying on the couch or sitting on it sideways (So my legs aren't hanging over the edge) my arms sometimes sort of twitch. As I said I don't know if this is the same...

Someone at the top of the thread said it had something to do with the body thermostat, I think this might just explain it... Does anybody have it happen frequently when its cold/raining or winter? My arm twitching thing happens mostly when its cold. Perhaps its just a shiver?

I didn't mean specifically reacting to the cold. I wish I could remember exactly what the explanation was but I remember it was something on the cellular level.

it does usually happen in colder instances. Doesnt have to be freezing though, a room with a/c is enough
