Does a pwp know when they are experiencing dyskinesia.?my neurologist told me I was but I didn’t notice a thing. Something about my neck moving. Just wondering if I should have felt something.

It is fairly common that PWP will not notice their movements but it will be clearly obvious to others. Seems that when it becomes more noticeable to the PWP is when it interferes with their ability to do things like get dressed in a timely manner, eat food without flinging it about.
