Soooooo... to begin with,I was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin, and moved to Phoenix,Arizona in 1968 and have lived here ever since. About 16 years ago,I was diagnosed with a neurological disorder called Cervical-Cranial-Oromandibular-Dystonia, AKA... Spasmotic Torticollis..AKA Segmental Dystonia..AKA..Meige's Syndrome.(Take your pick! HA!)Anyway,Google it,(either Dystonia or Torticollis or Meige's Syndrome) and read up on it! Awareness is the name of the game here..or CHECK OUT MY BLOGS CALLED "PUTTING A FACE ON DYSTONIA" AND "DYSTONIA..DID YOU KNOW???"(YOU MIGHT HAVE TO HIT THE LINK TO "VIEW ALL BLOGS" ABOVE TO GET TO THESE INFORMATIVE BLOGS....)FOR IT TELLS YOU WHAT DYSTONIA IS ALL ABOUT, AND WILL SAVE YOU TIME SEACHING IT OUT.

I CANNOT EXPRESS IT ENOUGH THAT DYSTONIA AWARENESS IS VITAL TO MORE RESEARCH DOLLARS! KEEP THE VIDEO MOVING TO MORE SITES!!!

And last but not least, my truly wonderful twin brother,Peter, and two sisters,Lyn and Lee, for without their undying encouragement and support to keep goin',I don't know what I would do.
