Public view Dystonia in Summary
Dystonia is a complicated and unpredictable condition of the nervous system identified by a set of connected muscular symptoms, especially uncontrollable muscle contractions, that develop gradually. These contractions may appear as sudden brief spasms, prolonged contortions, repetitive twisting, or recurring movements that are often painful and disabling. Dystonia can affect a muscle, muscle group or the entire body. There is no cure for most forms. Rather, Physicians that specialize in Movement Disorder Neurology specify medicines, surgery, physical therapy and alternative treatments to reduce or eliminate muscle contractions and pain. Dystonia affects men, women and children of all ages and backgrounds.

Hi, I am a 20 year old nursing student. The other day I was assigned to participate in a support group. I was diagnosed with dystonia around age 12-13 and have always been interested in talking to other people who have this disorder. I found your website tonight while googling "dystonia + Connecticut." I am wondering how I can get involved in this group and if there are any support groups that I can participate in being held.
Hi lexiesmom! I emailed you some info. Let me know if you haven't seen it. Email from here are a bit "iffy".
Peace & Health,
Sparky
