    Tired twitch?

    DS has been having weird twitches/shudders lately. A bit hard to explain, but basically his head kind of shudders and shakes for a second really quickly. He's fully alert, no eye rolling etc, and I've noticed he seems to do it when he's tired. It's bizarre and I'm a bit worried, but a few people have mentioned its just like a muscle spasm and its common. What do you think?

    I would check it out with your health care professional. Can you record it on your camera or phone? it is much easier to describe with video than words.

    There are things like essential tremor, that can happen more when people are tired.
