http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meige's_syndrome
At the end it has these words: Palliative treatments are available, such as Botox injections.
If you think this article reflects some of what your condition is, and this has never been offered as an option, perhaps you could discuss it with your neuro to see what he says. it may not be appropriate, of course, in which case I apologise in advance.
There are also some 'distraction' techniques discussed.

Lindy, thanks for the info. I've had Botox Injections before but they can cause a swallowing problem. Regarding Botox for the involuntary tongue thrusting, there are a lot of nerves in the tongue and to hit the precise one (s) is chancey. Thanks again for the interest, I really appreciate it.
