Typical Symptoms of Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Dyskinesia
Seizure
Uncontrollable movements
Seizures within the last 1 week
Fine tremor of the hands and fingers
The hand or leg on one side occasionally jerks or makes a sudden movement
More than 1 episode of seizures within 24 hours

Do your fingers tremble slightly?
Have you had multiple seizures in the past 24 hours?
