Exclamation Hi, what is up with this lady?

Hi,

I know this lady that is always shrugging her shoulders, moving her head from side to side and she does some jerky moves, like she looks like she is uncomfortable with her body or something. She always shakes her legs, her head, she taps her fingers, and her humming gets on my nerves.

Sometimes she will come up to me and tell me that her neck is killing her, well, I know why, if she keeps shaking like she does, she is going to shake her head right off her shoulders.

Is there something wrong with this woman? If there is someway I can help her try to figure out what is wrong, if she doesn't know.

Thanks

She probably has Tourette's along with some sort of OCD, but definitely Tourette's. Just remember, even if her tics get annoying, she CANNOT help it...

She could have Parkinson's disease as well. My step-grandfather died of this disease. this sort of twitching and involuntary muscle contractions were symptoms of the disease.
