Head tremor

[shannon_xray]

Do you guys ever experience involuntary movement?  My head seems to twitch more than it used to. It used to only do that when I took a hot shower.   It usually just twitches once and stops and then it will repeat sometimes minutes or hours later.  It's strange.  I seem to be having this in other body parts, but more in my head.  I think of all those poor old ladies I xrayed whose heads constantly shook and it kind of freaks me out.  Should I freak out or is this 'normal' for us with a lot of brain lesions?  I see my neuro again in about a couple of weeks.  

Hope everyone is doing well!

Fasciculations are irritating but harmless.

It may be just one muscle misfiring but it's enough to make your head jerk slightly. Any muscle can twitch, MSers generally experience their weirdness in the same specific locations every time, rather than being wide spread, and all over.

Fasciculations or muscle twitching are localised involuntary muscle contraction/relaxation, you'll often feel and see the same muscle twitching as single nerve contracts involuntarily. They are actually very common in general and associated with many things including, dehydration, medications, anxiety, sleep deprivation etc etc, so not necessarily meaningful per say.

I'd mention it to your neuro when you see him next week....

No, it isn't rhythmic and my husband can't see it so it isn't very visible.  It's kind of like a quick shake of the head similar to saying 'no'.  It will be like a twitch, I hope I am making sense

The little ladies I am speaking of have their cognitive abilities and even drive but their heads constantly shake.  They are usually always very sweet :)  

I like the noddy doll description :)  

Best!

Hi Shannon,

I'm not actually sure i get what your describing, your not talking about a rhythmic repetitive head tremor, is it a real obvious head jerking kind of thing or do you mean it's a singular head tilt? It's just your head, so your not talking about the startle reflex, nope i've got too many Q's sorry!

I've basically become that poor old lady who's head constantly shakes lol though i prefer to think of my self as being a little noddy doll :D I think the first time i experienced my no no no no no no and no tremor was in 2010 and then somewhere along this weird ride, it became just another of my everyday things.

I've got a couple of thoughts but if you can think of anything else to explain what you mean, the extra information would probably really help :D

Cheers........JJ
