Hi! I'm not a regular here... have just been dropping in with the post about narcolepsy, PD, Lewy Body Dementia and gluten~
Your mention of dystonia made me think of something.... not sure about the different types of dystonia, but gluten sensitivity might be something worth looking into... based on this post~

Celiac disease has been associated with ataxia and other neurological signs but has not been associated with paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesias (PNKD) to date. We present a child with biopsy-proven celiac disease and a movement disorder resembling PNKD since the age of 6 months. She had complete resolution of her neurological symptoms with introduction of a gluten-free diet. Because a susceptibility locus for celiac disease has been reported on 2q33 and studies in PNKD show linkage to 2q, this report suggests further genetic investigations around this locus may be useful. We also review the literature regarding the genetic susceptibility to PNKD and celiac disease. © 2007 Movement Disorder Society

Have you ever had your B12 level tested? Be sure it is in upper range. B12 deficiency can also cause wide ranging neurological symptoms, including some you mention~
