| Occasionally, I seem to have a random involuntary movement - like a twitch - on my neck that turns my head to the right, near my shoulder. Unlike other symptoms, this has only occured within the last six months, and my family have frequently noticed it. My mother wants me to go to the doctor if it continues. What is going on? |

WOW I have something similar, except its more like a Chill. Kind of like when your cold and you get a chill all over your body. It never really happened much, up until the last two years. I can feel it coming on. And to tell you the truth, it feels kind of good. Like a strange rush all through my body. But I have noticed that I can control it at times. Well not completely because I still fill it inside, but I kind of tense up, instead of just relaxing and leting it happen. ITs like a tightening in my neck and chest, followed by a chill throughout my body, and sometimes a distortion of my mouth. LOL Thats when I let it come out completely, which like I said it actually feels good. Kind of like a release. And its spontaneous. Kind of like a Sneeze, where you dont know when its coming up until the last couple of seconds. lately Ive let go so much that I also let a sound come out while its happening and then say the word Chill, afterwards. IT doesn't bother me much, but I try not to let it show fully around people. What it is, I dont know. If you find out let me know. Im curious too.

| You may have Tics. This is often comorbid with AS, though I'm not really sure why ... basically it causes repetitive involuntary muscle movements. |

I agree.
My legs twitch when I'm awake.
Apparently when I sleep, I twitch so much that it's scary. I have woken up a few times from it.
Are you taking any new medication/stopped taking/changed the dosage?
That can sometimes have effects. |

It's true... renaeden twitches alot when she sleeps... So much so I thought she might have been having a fit! 
I tend to bounce, or shake, my legs when I'm awake, it's half-involuntary though, it'll start by itself but I can stop it.

| hubby has twitches too....he says, read the description on tourettes~ it says how people can avoid the tics, but it will catch up with you~ it's like an involuntary movement that you can try and control. you can't always control it, but when you try to control it ( ie, not let it happen), it catches up with you and is magnified. p.s......he likes the way the twitches feell |

Same thing here, only I can't stop it voluntarily unless I make my feet not touch the ground anymore (which isn't hard to do when I'm sitting down).

*Nods and agrees with that* often it's when I listen to a beautiful piece of music, but it happens at any other time too. It is rather a nice feeling in an odd kind of way

| About the chills thing...I get that too. I have always thought it feels like an influx of energy, and in fact if I meditate and think about it like that I can sometimes cause it to happen, especially if I have certain pieces of music playing while I meditate such as "Dalalai" by Bond. |

| I experience both twitches and chills. Once in a while, my head will jerk to the right, and I get chills, at least five times a day. Even in the Summer, I experience the chills. |
