Editor’s note: The following is an automatically generated transcript of the above video.
"So far so good. But four weeks ago, Mary and her daughter noticed that Mary had slightly slurred speech, which turned out being due to involuntary tongue movements. Additionally, Mary also noticed involuntary eye blinking and finger movements. Mary, accompanied by her daughter, sees her neurologist, who has been treating her migraines in the past. At the office visit, Mary shows the following ratings on the AIMS exam.
There's a minimal eye blinking, but she's very focused on that. On the tongue, there is a mild movement that is interfering with her articulation. And she has mild finger movements. There are no other movements, and the total AIM score comes to a 2. And she does fulfill criteria for tardive dyskinesia because she is on two areas of the body a rating of 2 or mild. There are no signs of Parkinsonism."
