Dystonia Disorder
A dystonia disorder is neurological and affects movement. With this disorder, muscles contract causing twisting and/or repetitive, involuntary and excessive movements. A physical trauma, infection, poisoning, or reaction to pharmaceutical drugs, specially neuroleptics. Treatment is difficult and has been limited to minimizing the symptoms, since there is no cure.
As for symptoms of a dystonia disorder, they are varied. Many sufferers have continual pain, cramping and relentless muscle spasms due to involuntary muscle movements. These spasms can affect different parts of the body including the eyelids, lips, vocal cords, the lower face the neck.
If you or someone you love has a dystonia disorder, it is important to be aware of its cause, if it is determinable. It is also important to know the symptoms and treatment options.
I was diagnosed with focal eyelid dystonia, one of the dystonias evidenced by uncontrolled and involuntary blinking. I began taking a whole food and nutritional supplement program that nourished my body and brain. On this program, my symptoms diminished dramatically.
When my symptoms began, I had no idea what was happening to me, especially since I had always been very healthy and never a patient in a hospital. But here I was, 50 years old with uncontrolled and involuntary blinking. It took two years for me to be properly diagnosed with focal eyelid dystonia. Twice I had eyelid injections that were painful and made my eyes looked artificial, so I stopped treatments. Later I found a whole food nutritional program that was able to provide nourishment for my brain and body. This program improved my quality of life and diminished my symptoms dramatically. Maybe it could help you, too!
