@Courtney_J Hi, I haven't been on here in a while, so I'm rediscovering it a bit! I was diagnosed around 6+ years ago, but I knew it was coming because it runs in my family. I have cervical dystonia, so my head spasms towards my right shoulder. I've been doing botox injections for it for a long time now, but over time I feel like they don't work as well anymore. My doctor is resistant to let me try surgery of deep brain stimulation, but I'm getting to the point where I want to do it anyway and am thinking about finding another doctor. If anyone knows of any alternative treatments or things that have worked please let me know!
