> -My father has severe TD caused by older antipsychotic medications. If I'm correct you described yours being in your arms and legs, there's another name for this.
What's it called? The neurologist called it chorea athetosis...which is in every stinkin' part of my body. Most commonly my left hand, but the left side of my face is also common. The worse it gets the farther down my body it goes, down to my toes, and it includes my trunk. Sometimes it's accompanied by a VERY uncofortable feeling in my back that almost forces me to move. Not nice, I don't like it. Some times I breathe in gasps when I get the tense kind of movements. I make random noises on occasion too.
And I'm sending out a gigantic *THWAP* to the psych who thought her problems were her kids. Bad psych, no cookie for you.
