What you're describing sounds like dystonia, which causes uncontrollable muscle contractions that can lead to twisting movements and uncomfortable postures. This is a known symptom that can occur with Parkinson's disease and can be quite distressing when it affects your hands and feet. The good news is that there are treatment options available. One effective treatment for dystonia is botulinum toxin (Botox) injections to the affected areas. These injections can help relieve the muscle contractions and reduce discomfort. It's important to discuss these symptoms with your healthcare provider, as they can properly evaluate the severity of your dystonia and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific situation.

Too much carbon don’t believe a double does that to my foot on left side of my body. It gets me dystonia. When I cut the dose down, I do much better. My neurologist told me I was mistaken, but I told him I know my own body. My first dose of carbon don’t believe Adobe is at 2:30 PM, then 6:30 PM then 10:30 PM. I only use a half a tablet at a time.
