WE MOVE - Movement Disorders Mime Video

[dispensingstarlight]

What about TS? Tourette's counts too!

[shaynapulley]

it's sad how hopeless this video makes living with a MDO sound, but it's a great visual representation for understanding and awareness. I'm thankful that there is an organization like WEMOVE to create aids like these for us

[ai1525]

As a medical student who has non-existent prior experience with motor disorders, watching the mime with the voice over was the perfect combination of different learning tactics. If those that think the mime is stupid then scroll down and listen to the descriptions instead.

[MrChambers10]

It took five years and about 10 doctors before I got correctly diagnosed with dystonia and spasticity--not to mention tens of thousands of dollars. Most doctors don't know about these conditions. Those that do are reluctant to treat them. These disorders are extremely painful, disabling, and isolating. Thank you for helping get the word out.

[dmgodfrey]

Thank you for posting. I am a new patient of a movement disorder. My journey has just begun. I have an appt with my third neurologist.

[whoa10wholepacks]

I have blepharospasm. The mime (why a mime?) pretty much got it down.

People won't even look at you sometimes, because you can be blinking so hard.

[IronWolvesBand]

wow

[GreenGirl444]

why isnt tourette syndrome on here?

[STangoFox]

lol That mime looked so dumb, but this was still very informative. It's so scary to imagine being affected by any of those disorders.

My aunt has PSP. There's nothing we can do to help her.

[GreenGirl444]

@STangoFox i agree, the mime was stupid, but i got the point, my grandma has parkinson's and we cant really do anything for her either :(

[STangoFox]

@GreenGirl444

So sorry to hear that. =( Best wishes.

[GreenGirl444]

@STangoFox you too

[AuggieX1]

For those in the Medical field. This is an excellent video demonstrating what these conditions present themselves to be. Thank you for posting this.

[chaman3872]

Some responses here are so full of ignorance is sad. It is a very informative video of some specific movement disorders and I am sure people who suffers from them find this video makes them justice of how difficult their condition is.

[mmodnao]

Facts about the diseases are well explained, but why a fucking mime to explain them? I will have nightmares now.

[LostinadarkplaceAnax]

fucking hilarious! XD

i don't think it's meant to be tho , haha x

[Drkadrk]

asshole

[LostinadarkplaceAnax]

god, chill dork

found something funny

never had that experience before?

thought not.

loser.

[Drkadrk]

yeah the mime thing is funny but the point is the concept is not. and for you to comment saying its hilarious is just stupid. and Im very far from being a dork or a loser buddy u have no idea what I do!

[LostinadarkplaceAnax]

omfg, similarly mate, I'm very far from being an asshole. coz u have no idea what I do!

n who said i found the fucking conept funny?

don't jump to conclusions and re-read my original comment.

[na5m]

mime vow of silence broken at 5:40. Shame on you.

[bunnykill100]

wonderful

so enlightening

[CrunchySushi]

I am so thankful for doing this video project. I think its absolutely incredible and gave me the idea to video tape myself and show it to each new doctor. thanks again

[deadlysauce]

I've been twitching/jerking sporadically for 11 months. Watching this triggers the jerks...but I have no other symptoms and I have no idea what's wrong. I am probably going to try and see a doctor this winter, but I'm afraid that they won't find anything and I will be stuck like this forever....

[athaocity]

boring

[CharlotteYanni]

Thank you for your video!

[BeautyGirl3000]

pause at 1:45

[gypsycrit]

why?

[Jessiebob0623]

i dont get it.

[Hermanvanstraten]

You know I can't read books unless they are on the computer because of this thing? I read the Dairy of a U Boat Officer in one night. It's easier when the it's more letters on the page and less pages and on the computer. I think it's because as I read it at the computer without holding the book I can do things with my hands and move around that I do nartually already when at a computer to distract myself from the urge. But the people around me ruined it.

[marconiman252]

I haven't been diagnosed with tremors, but I believe I do have some moderate case of them. Some parts of my body shake uncontrollably even when I'm very calm. I can relate to you with the books. When I'm holding a paperback it just gets annoying after a few minutes of holding it.

[ColonelMarksman]

Does your head jerk? Do all limbs seem to wobble, twist, or fling at random? Do you have an "aura" (feeling it coming on)? How long do the tremors last? Does your vision blur?

[pharrah02]

i watched this a week ago. i hoped noone i knew would be affected by this ever. a few days ago my mum was diagnosed w restless leg syndrome. i feel so helpless. i wish i could help her.

[marconiman252]

I don't know you or anything about you, but I will pray for her.

[pharrah02]

done beautifully with a beautiful cause. i think this is a brilliant way of spreading knowledge and removing social stigma that is so prevalent. keep it up!

[rosemarie101]

Beautiful Mime.

Goo use of the atr form and good information

[hectorc86]

Wow, thank you for make movement disorders available for the rest of the people. I'm a medical student and I really think you're making a difference.

[LupusMCTD]

I have cervical (neck) dystonia, focal dystonia, spasmodic dysphonia, blepharospasm. I was on Artane to control this, but due to finacial situations and my other health issues I just took SOMA. Now the dr has me off the soma because "it's addicting".. So guess what? Ny Systonia ha returned!

I get horrible head jerking backwards as well as my facial muscle contract giving the appearance my face is flat.

It is the most horrible pain I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Best wishes to all

[PoemPantomime]

That's a very noble mime

:)

[1210donna]

those working with people with autism should check out restless leg syndrome in this clip. There are people with autism who are so squirmy and fidgety when sitting and have to pace or run before they can sit again. if teachers considered RLS they could have more sensitivity and deal with it better.

[OzzieKezzie]

Autism is a sensory disorder, not a physical one. The "fidgeting" is self-stimulatory behvaviour that has nothing to do with RLS. Maybe you should research it before you make such silly statements.

[1210donna]

autism occurs in 1 in 150 people.

Whatever your theories, one similar behaviour cannot be presumed to have one cause in all people just because they share a label.

There is no research which says that 100% of people diagnosed with autism ONLY have sensory disorders and that fidgeting in that 100% is only and ever a self stimulatory behaviour. Similarly, whilst some people with autism may hit their heads for self stimulation, but others will type they did this when suffering from headache.

[qtrinki]

Hi.. Im a speech pathologist in India and am working with some patients with Movement Disorders and associated Speech Problems! I know this video is from the We Move website but Im unable to download the 'Conclusion' video and embedd it into my ppt presentation. I want to use it so I can spread awareness regarding these disorders by using the video in my conferences. Can u b please tell me how you managed to upload it on youtube? PLEASE DO LET ME KNOW! Thanks

[rmship]

Wow, This was nice to see, but I now have tears in my eyes as I am a person with a movement disorder.

Nicejob

[MajorTaylor]

Fantastic.

Thank you for making this available to us.

[FEARofTREMOR]

Hello, this is kind of random, but I need your opinion. My pinky will not stop shaking and I am terrified that I might be getting Parkinsons. I put a video up of what my hand does. Please watch it and let me know if you think this is parkinsons. I am only 24 and this really has me scared.

[MySeizures]

Dear Sir/Madam, After working hard for over 25 years and built a decent life for my self and my family, because of and due to the last 10 years of persistent epileptic seizures, I lost my wife, my home, my job, my car, my driving license and eveything I ever saved to become destitute homeless. I've been told by Stanford University, I need brain surgery to cure my seizures but I don't have health insurance. Can you please help me stop my seizures. Thank you, Regards,

[metabog]

I hope this isn't what I have, lol. Since ever i've had the unbeatable sensation that I have to move my legs. It's never been a problem at all and I sleep perfectly. I also have it in my arms, slightly, and my shoulders. No one has noticed, tho, so I guess it's not a problem, and probably a tic.

[Krittikas]

Thank you for this video. While I am undecided as to whether a MIME is appropriate to demonstrate these various movement disorders, I do appreciate learning about them. And it makes me very sad to think about all the people who suffer from these movement disorders--especially when I realize that some of these problems, like PSP and Parkinson's disease seem to run in my bloodline and may be in my own future.

Thanks again for sharing this information.

[GrimelyAl]

I used to have that. For some Reason, it disipated as I grew.

[xlextrix]

everyone shut up and appreciate the artistic interpretation of disorders actual people actually have to live with. stop fighting, and focus your energy on helping.

[youaremessingwithme]

Here, Here, Well said !!

[sloofuss]

I have always loved a good Mime show.They are hilarious!

Mime about physical disorders count me in!

Oh my God this is entertainment!

[romil888]

its very hard to have this kind of disorder. i am a physiatrist and i see a lot of this problems and providing care for this type of patients is really challenging but i can't imagine how frustrating it may feel for my patients and their relatives who takes care of them....

[mrpark01]

..some of us are medical students looking for videos to help enhance learning.

[youaremessingwithme]

My Dad had one of the movement disorders, mimed here. Sadly he died nearly three and a half years ago. Sphizz, as far as I know you are a lucky person, not having to watch a loved one, deteriorate in front of your eyes and not be able to help them. I just dont think you understood the mime, if you did, I would like to think you wouldnt have made the comments you did. If you did understand the video and still made the comments, then I feel very sorry for you....

[sphizz]

umm i HAVE had relatives deteriorate in front of my eyes and die.

doesnt make it any less funny.

i'd laugh at myself if i had any of this shit

[mrpark01]

...you found this entertaining? wow.

[123Gooze123]

First of all I'm sorry about your dad. Sphizz, haven't you got anything better to do than to laugh at people who ain't as well and healthy as you? I don't call you a moron or a fucktard, but I really think it's sad to see your comments. I hope you grow smarter in time.

Let's consentrate on fighting the problems instead of fighting each other with words like "crazy ass fuckhead", that would make results.

[matthewnsea]

I have Essential Tremor and had Deep Brain Stimulation(DBS) done 9/05. See 1:04 to 1:46. Since DBS, I have 98% reduction in hand, head, torso and voice tremor. No, trust me, none of this is a joke.....however, I have no problem admitting that I am now BORG!(or bionic depending on your generation...haha)

[azmidasimin]

ya, this is not funny, but nvm they're normal ppl not like us. we're different

[martinlewisoneill]

You do realise that this isn't Comedy? It is about actual Medical Disorders that affect countless People. As far as I could there was nothing funny about it. Moron.

[sphizz]

hahaha this is so genious i LOOVEEDDDDDD it!!!

:D

keep up the comedy

[rowenna87]

sphizz, ur a muppet. it isnt a comedy. people actually suffer from illnessed which cause them to suffer the way the mime was showing. dick!!

[requiemaeternam7]

Wow what a fuckin moron. This isn't a comedy this is real you fucktard.

[rowenna87]

what a prat!!

[sphizz]

why would you search for movement disorders if you werent looking to have a laugh?

[rowenna87]

people havent looked at this for a laugh!!even if they did, how wud u find that funny?!

[sphizz]

i guess you didnt watch the same video i did, but this is a MIME acting out MOVEMENT DISORDERS.... its FUNNY.

people suffering because they can't move right is FUNNY.

[rowenna87]

wow, u really are a fuckin retarded little shit! i hope u get a crippling illness, see how funny it is then!!!

[pow48]

funny only until it happens to you. you're with your wife who sleeps down the hall because you jerk your legs all night.

[martinlewisoneill]

Good video. I have a Movement Disorder that wasn't featured in the Video. It's called Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Dyskenisia (PKD). It took me 5 years to get treatment and an accurate Diagnosis.

Martin

[sexxxwidow]

what does THAT do?!?!
