Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Could it be a sensory problem. Grace has Sensory Integration Disorders, and there are certain parts of her that she cannot stand to be touched. She does not twitch, but I have read that some kids do with this.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 My almost 3 year old has had some unusual twiching for the last 6 months. She does have a seizure disorder but, this is different than her normal seizures. The doctor has no clue on what it is but I would to find out what may be causing it. The twitching is very typical to happen in the morning. Every morning actually and sometimes after her afternoon nap. If you touch her finger tips, under her arms (to pick her up) of under her knees (when holding her) she twitches. The more these places are touched the harder the twitching gets. It is hard to dress a child in the morning without touching any of these places. Do any of your children do this, what would help her! Dan and Heidi Payton ===== Thank you! Heidi Payton!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 The twitching could possibly myoclonus, which is very common in patients with mito and other neuromuscular disorders. Talk to your Dr. about it. or Heidi Payton wrote: My almost 3 year old has had some unusual twiching forthe last 6 months.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 gets 'shakes' when he first wakes up... but its not related to me touching him at all, its just full out shaking his arms to the point that he cant control them at all... we thought it was blood sugar related as he gets low blood sugar, but even since we got it under control he still gets shaky (though less so) when he wakes up... sorry i cant help much!
