Valium/Diazepam?
Libra, I don't have the severe dystonia issues that you apparently have, but I understand that the classic benzodiazepine Valium(R), besides being a powerful anxiolytic, is also a great muscle relaxant. I have used it in the far distant past for back muscle strain with great results. I am a little hesitant to mention it because of its potential for abuse. If you have a primary care doc that might be a little more accessible than your neuro, you might ask him/her about this approach to getting some relief from your muscle rigidity and pain.
I would like for someone else on the forum with dystonia issues to jump in and give Libra some input on this.
Robert
