Really Worried!!

I have no clue were to put this. I dont
know if anyone will be able to help me or
not.
About 2 months ago Amelia picked up on
what we was trying to teach her. We would
bow our heads down and look up with our
eyes. She started doing this shortly after
we kept doing it to her. I dont know if
this has something to do with it or not.
But now she has like this uncontrolable
spasms where she bows her head and it
jerks back in forth and sometimes side to
side. You can tell shes not doing this on
purpose. And sometimes she will bow her
head(while shes sitting on her but) and
fall forward and hit her head. This
happens out of the blue. She has done
these spasms twice within the last 12
minutes! She would just be sitting there
playing or "talking" and boom it happens.
Joey says its her new thing. I also
thought that at the beginning then my mom
seen her do it the other day and she says
I need to take her to the doctor. I
shruged it off and told my mom shes just
learning new things. But now i think Im
wrong. Im really starting to get worried
because past few days it seems like it
gets worse. I keep trying to call her
doctor and the phone is busy! 
Has anyones kds ever had uncontrolable
head spasms??

Sorry hun, I don't really have any
answers. I do think you need to get her to
a doctor. Let us know what they say when
you get through.

yeah i would take her to a neurologist.
Things like that can be siezures that no
one notices. Or it could just be a new
thing she does..
best to get it checked tho. They'll run CT
scans and MRI's to be sure.

Yeah, I agree with the other girls. Have
her checked out. Better safe than sorry.
Hope all is well and it's just her new
thing.

It depends on your insurance.
Do you have a local medical hotline? They
are usually nurses and might be able to
give you some advice.

it really all depends on the neurologist..
call around see which ones take ur
insurance, and ask if they require a
refferal from her pediatrician before
coming in. Usually u dont even have to
have an appointment to get one, just go to
her peds office and tell them u need one..
they'll more than likely give it to you on
the spot, typically on a script paper.

oh ok! Thanks! The reason why I asked is
because when Amelia had to go see her eye
doctor it was a referal (sp?) and so was
her GI specialist!

a lot of specialists require it, for
insurance reasons.. Jacobs orthopedist
did, as well as my eye doctor.. but the
dentist didnt. Weird.
I'd definately get her checked tho.. Im
sure shes fine, but if it *is* something,
the earlier they catch it the better.

try calling your insurance provider.. tell
them you cant get thru to your ped and ask
if theres anything they can do.. be it
write the referral for you, or maybe
contact the neurologist and set something
up with them.

of my family. I knew my uncle on my
mothers side gets them but I just found
out my Aunt on my fathers side had them
bad when she was a baby! Im praying thats
not it!
