tic? tick!

[mooks]

So, adding to an ever growing list of physical ailments (is this what getting old is about?) I was recently diagnosed with having developed a tic. Because this particular tic is focussed on 2 major muscle groups, it has been causing considerable pain (from spasms due to over exertion). They have given me pain killers and a muscle relaxant until I have an emergency appointment with the neurologist next week but I'm a bit confizzled by the whole thing. On the one hand I hear it's psychological and on the other they are sending me to a neurologist. Contradiction much?

Anybody have any experience here? Should I be worried?

Do you use, or have you used, antipsychotic medication? Tics can be a side-effect of antipsychotic medication use.

Is that like a jumping nerve/muscle? I get it around my eyes. Stress related.

I do get the same if I'm under a bit of stress.

Highly annoying.
