What Causes Involuntary Movements In The Limbs?
Recent ER visit by husband, with very low blood sugar, (47), not concious, involintary limb movement, unresponsive to rescue squad or to me. We were told he may need to see endocrinologist. We need to make appt asap, hopefully at IU West, Avon, IN. Can you recommend someone?
