Lightbulb dystonia -

my dystonia is usually brought on by stress, and worry and lowblood sugar,
leva dopa carbi dopa / aka sinemet, not enough, too much is dyskenesias-
the wiggles, were it is hard to stay still, the PD ballet

I have two strengths of sinemet-the ones you can chew and the sinemet cr.
also I take magenium in a capsule 500mg. magnesium helps relax the muscles,
and B-complex with C, focus on someone or someplace you love.
I have noticed in many PD patients [especially women ]-
we hold our breath -so I lay stomach flat on the floor, which forces me
to take deeper breaths, or possibly I have been told by my friend who is a paramedic - dystonia causes hyperventilation, panic attacks follow the acute -horrible pain, for me. they will give you oxygen if you go to the hospital, and a benzodiazepine -
dystonia worsens your tremor or possibly a freeze -glance around the room
if standing, - the best thing to do that I know is to
think of peaceful things, and pray.

sometimes a glass of wine will help me.

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.
