hello I am new to the forum

[angelgaby]

I Found The Forum Yesterday, And Look Forward To Learning And Sharing Experiences, My Aunt's Partner Who Is 86 Has Alzheimers, And My Aunt Is Blind And 93, Both My Husband And Myself Are The Main Carers,we All Live Together, We Realise How Lucky We Are That There Are Two Of Us, But Some Days Everything Is So Difficult, Has Anyone Come Accross Involuntary Shaking And Severe Jerky Movements In One Arm, This Suddenly Happened To My Aunt's Partner Yesterday, And Lasted A Little While Then Stopped, Today It Suddenly Started Again, Very Distressing For Him.

sudden jerky movements

thank you for the welcome and replies, my uncle is not taking any medication, so this maybe just another development in the illness? the recent jerky movements have disapeared during the past few days, one day at a time, we have had a good day today
reading the threads and posts is so helpful as well
