Dyskinesia, Dystonia, and Disability
Sometimes, an illness or an injury can prevent you from working for a year or longer. These are called long-term disabilities. Long-term disabilities, or LTDs, are serious conditions that may eventually lead to an early death. The neuromuscular disorders tardive dyskinesia, tardive dystonia, and cervical dystonia are three such diseases that can permanently disable you.
These disorders can put a great amount of financial stress on you and your family. However, if your neuromuscular disease is the result of a dangerous medication, such as Reglan, you may be entitled to financial compensation to help you during this difficult time. If you now have a neuromuscular disorder after taking Reglan or metoclopramide, please contact a Reglan lawsuit attorney from Williams Kherkher today at 800-761-3187.
Symptoms of Neuromuscular Disorders
Dyskinesia and dystonia are two categories of neuromuscular disease. Both generally occur when the communication channel between muscles and nerves gets blocked or scrambled. Damage to the dopamine neurotransmitter pathway is a common cause of these conditions. As your nerves lose control over your muscles, you can suffer from uncontrollable symptoms such as:
- Thrusting the tongue in and out of the mouth
- Swinging the jaw back and forth
- Lip smacking
- Muscle spasms in the arms or legs
- Neck twisting
- Muscle tremors
These involuntary muscle movements can prevent you from carrying out work-related tasks, such as directing business meetings, answering the phone, operating heavy machinery, and more.
