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~

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~

That's interesting about the celiac disease. I'll mention the gluten to my doctor when I see him in 2 weeks. I did have my B-12 checked when I went to the Lahey. It was low, but in the normal range, so I had to go for shots once a month. They made no difference in how I feel, and the symptoms didn't go away. My level now is normal according to the blood tests, and I have to go for another blood test next week to confirm this. I may need to go on the supplement if it's recommended.
