myoclonic Dystonia - myoclonus dystonia
This is a rare inherited syndrome characterized primarily by rapid “jerks” that occur in the arms, neck and trunk. Alcohol makes the conditions worse. Non-movement features may include depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic attacks. Some treatments are physical therapy and oral medications. Deep Brain Stimulation surgery is also an option. The “treatment of choice,” is injections of Botox.
Often the disorder appears to be slowly progressive for a few years after onset, stabilizes, and then fluctuates slightly over the years.
Over 25 years ago, I was diagnosed with focal eyelid dystonia, a dystonia evidenced by
uncontrolled and involuntary eye closure, or blinking. My symptoms diminished significantly after I began following a special nutritional program that nourished my brain and body. Since I got help, maybe this could help you.
