[retiredat44]

i am also under the care of a neurologist. I have had shaking and tremors for many years, but then tcame the totally involutary movements, with arms, leggs jumping out and then the feet and toes would start twisting in knots..

One VA doctor said it is Myotonic Dystrophy .. (DNA Test came back , doctor studied it,, still is not sure..

but during the time of the diagnosis, I also had sever emuscle wasting, which my pancreas disease caused the loss of the ability to eat food for 6 months and was tube fed..

They are not sure if it is Muscular dystrophy, MS, Parkinsons,, etc..

I worked with many toxic chmicals on active duty and they played a part in my neurological problems..
