There is also in person support groups , that are helpful to connect with others finding good docs, the key is to have a movement neurologist if you think its dystonia.
I have constant stress in the bone at the bottom of the back of the neck.while I'm awake. It is also a strain to turn my head to the right. I have had one botox treatment of six needles. I'm on the waiting list for the second injections.
