I am so sorry you are having such a painful time right now. Think back to Spring, did you also feel worse than? My Dr. said it is do in part to the change in weather. My hand was balled up into a fist and hurt like --well if I were an animal I'd chew it off!!! I guess I am lucky the dystonia doesn't keep it like that all the time. I wish I had some words of wisdom to share, but I can only pray that it is not spreading. And let you know I think here you are feeling awful and you took time to post encouragement to Mark.Carose
