I am 19 years old and have been having movement problems every since I was 2. They have gradually gotten worse over the years. I have been diagnosed with Essential Tremor, Motor Tic Disorder, and Dystonia. I feel as though none of these cover what I experience. I believe it looks more like myoclonus. I do have a tremor not evident in this video though. If anyone has any suggestions as to what this may be please feel free to comment.

NEW DIAGNOSIS: tic disorder as determined by St. Louis Childrens Hospital Neurological Department. Probably Tourettes. She also has Aspergers Syndrome.
Finally…we know what it is.
Portia, six years old, having these “episodes” since March of 2008. Seen a neurologist who is waiting to see what the other specialist says about her possibly having Aspergers Syndrome. I’m worried that it’s still seizures, she has them everyday, sometimes all day long, one right after another. Are these ticks, or seizures? Worried.
