Dystonia Diary

This is what it's like to have cervical dystonia - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Actually, there's nothing good about it.

To start things off

I developed cervical dystonia as a repetitive-motion injury at work in November 2003, got diagnosed in August 2004, and started getting the proper treatment in May 2005. It's been a long, painful, streassful, and depressing journey. Since dystonia is an incurable neurological disorder that comes with depression in most cases, I don't expect the journey to get any easier. It's a constant struggle that can't be won completely, but there can be small victories here and there, as long as treatment is available - and affordable.
