        I see. The twitching you're experiencing is actually a symptom of dyskinesia, which can develop as a result of long-term use of levodopa, one of the medications you take for Parkinson's.
        
        Really? I had no idea.

        No i am not, please tell me more.
        
        In the context of Parkinson's disease, the term "on" dyskinesia refers to the movements that occur when the levodopa is working effectively and the patient is experiencing the desired therapeutic effects of the medication.

        I am afraid i cant do much as a nurse. I can set up an appointment with you doctor and you can tell them about your issues.
