Sometimes when sitting in class, my leg shakes out of it’s own volition. Usually when I have the ball of my foot on the ground and the heel up. My doc told me the name for it, but I forgot what it was. That’s what I am looking for.

Cece didn’t cover this. I just read the staff report, and that got me thinking about it.

I believe the word was something like fiscivillations. But I could be dead-wrong.

Thanks!

Since **Jill** will doubtless have good input on this, I’m going to move it to Comments on Staff Reports.
