mirror movement disorder

Hi everyone. I have always had problems with my left hand mimicking my right hand. I always thought it must be a symptom of my hydrochephalus and didn't think anymore about it. For some reason I decided to research it and found out that it was something called mirror movement disorder and was actually quite rare! Mine isn't too bad which is probably why I hadn't bothered researching it before. I causes me more embarrassment than anything else! When I was at school I used to try and hide it as best I could. It means that my co-ordination isn't very good. I have seen videos on youtube where it has completely taken over peoples lives!

Hi @deb74, thank you for sharing this. I have cerebral palsy and my affected side does mimic occasionally.

hi @Chloe_Scope. I tend not to notice it most of the time. Probably because I am used to it but it is a bit of a nuisance when I am doing things like tying my shoe laces or writing.1

Yeah I can relate to that one @deb74!
