RH,

There wasn't a specific medical test he did on me...he observed me for about 15

minutes, did some strength tests and reflex tests that revealed the myoclonus,

along with he was able to see some of the twitches I had firsthand. Accompanied

by the Doctors at the hospital I was in last week relayed to him also about the

jerks and twitching. I guess it was really a clinical diagnoses.

definitely have it. He gave me a prescription for something but I

don't remember what it is.

know if she is going to be able to handle the stress from all of

this.
