I just finished the survey. I’ve been getting injections for a very long time. I’m so pleased this is being discussed and studied.

@Donnsi How have the injections worked since starting them? Any noticeable results?
@Chi910 How have the injections improved the symptoms with your condition?

@Lee__R Amazing results for 3 months then must have injections again so ongoing. It changed my life. Are you considering them? I strongly recommend it. Please be sure to find a specialty doctor who know hoe to work with those with cervical Dystonia.

Will be doing the EMG guided Botox injections. This is for the focal hand dystonia I am dealing with. Praying!

I saw the neurologist today, she scheduled my first injections for August 28. I hope it helps.

Well... I had 13 Botox shots in my right forearm last Monday. It's been 6 days since then and the only thing I have is weakness in my right hand and lower arm. Did not relieve the spasms or hand clenching yet. Will keep you up-to-date.
