for those with PD and dystonia - may we please have a seperate but attached forum?
ie: http://www.dystonia-parkinsons.org/ what is dystonia: What is Dystonia? Dystonia is a neurological muscle disorder that causes uncontrollable, painful spasms in one or more parts of the body. While not widely known, dystonia affects an estimated 500,000 people in North America alone--more than muscular dystrophy, Huntington's disease and Lou Gehrig's disease combined. Different forms of the disease affect the face, neck, throat, eyelids, arms, legs or torso. This devastating disease can appear in children and adults alike. I have both PD and dystonia - the dystonia is soooooooooooooo much more painful!!! i have it in my chest wall!! but in terms of stiffening pain and too much motion writhing pain muscles ache horridly
