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.

Well...

It's been about a week and a half since the Botox, and I don't notice much difference yet. My neck doesn't hurt as much, but the dystonia is still the same, I still get tension headaches, my back hurts more, my head still shakes occasionally, and I haven't had a good night's sleep about 2 months. I was hoping to at least sleep a little better by now. I was so tired at work that I thought I'd fall asleep on my feet! Maybe by 2 weeks I'll notice more of a difference. If not, it's going to be a long 4 months until my next shots.

Good news is that I got some extra pay (a "floating holiday" I never took), and I have 4 days off in a row! I can catch up on my sleep, and prune my roses - before it's too late.
