Definitely check with your neurologist as it might be the first sign of parkinsons, if medications are ruled out for the jerky motions. Usually they are seen in the movements of the hands arms and legs. The person usually doesn't know that it is happening.. I wouldn't worry about short spells, unless they happen on a daily basis. Rosemary went through that stage and about 4 months later the twitches went away.

Yes. Jackie is often jerky just after waking up. I believe that these kind of involuntary movements are not unusual as the illness progresses. Have seen it in friends also. S

Yes occasionally, might be result of meds?

It certainly could be. There are so many symptoms that some never have and others do. It it happens often I’d check with his neurologist.

Have not seen this one. Maybe ask Dr.
