Hello I am new
 

Hello everyone, my name is Amanda. I just joined. I am needing support for my health conditions. I have two rare neurological conditions one is Dystonia, the other is unknown neurological condition. I was born with both. I was diagnosed at the age of 13 and my conditions progressed quickly. By the time I was 15 I was unable to move. I got brain surgery for a deep brain stimulator implant in 2010. I got the opportunity to have 29 news station to do a story on my life to spread awareness for Dystonia and DBS. I later got diagnosed with autism and savant syndrome in 2014 by mental health professionals and my neurologist. I also was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and full body nerve damage.

Hello Amanda.

I just joined the site, and was hopping around in the Intros. You were given a big hill to deal with , with your conditions. Which I have never heard of.
But I guess it must be very tough on you, in many ways. I hope, like me you find info and bump into people in here who can help / understand your position. Sending kind regards. Kimberley.
