for any of you who don't yet know, the neurologist said i just have a "simple tic"--tics being, i guess, on a spectrum, like so many other things--and if you have A LOT of tics, they call it tourette's...one lil tic like mine is "simple". if you say so, man! (haha) so that explains the shoulder rolling and twitching and arm flailing. the shaking, i think is different, and is explained by my mild "orthostatic intolerance" (having to do with regulating my blood pressure when moving from sitting or lying to standing)...my thyroid medicine has yet to be increased--i'm about to hit the streets for it! i saw the naturopath yesterday and she wants to test my levels again, then if they indicate it, she'll up it. come on!!! i never got a good explanation of why i would suddenly and randomly develop a tic...maybe he said something and it washed over me, or maybe he didn't. research will be done!
anyways, i don't really mind having a tic, i'm just glad he was able to rule out crazy rare diseases and degenerative horrible conditions. so, yay! now watch out. heh.
