Try not to Laugh
I'd like to meet:
By joining together, we can show those with the power to make a difference that we have just as many people with dystonia that need help as those with Parkinson's and other diseases of a similar nature.
For years many physicians thought of Cervical dystonia as being psychological. IT IS NOT. Nor is it Parkinson’s disease, nor nor Cerebral Palsy nor Muscular Dystrophy. This confusion is why Cervical dystonia is often misdiagnosed and/or undiagnosed.
WHAT CAUSES Cervical dystonia?
Neurologists believe those with dystonia are born with a predisposition. In approximately 50% of the cervical dystonia population, there is a family history of hand or head tremors (familial or essential tremors).
An IMPORTANT POINT TO REMEMBER is that many with dystonia exhibit denial. This can exacerbate the symptoms and make them worse. It can create a “FLIGHT OF FRIGHT†mode which can then lead to more anger and anxiety and this only causes deeper symptoms and depression.
Acceptance of dystonia is all-important. Dystonia can be devastating but, with regular treatment and attention, YOU CAN LEAD A PRODUCTIVE LIFE! Life’s habits may have to change, but “The only thing permanent in life is changeâ€. Think positive and good luck to you! I hope you find this information helpful.
