Such an intelligent speaker. Thank you. Your video is encouraging.

had couple of unknown symptoms on the beginning of 2022 - my eye went twitching, I experienced gum loss, had strong nerve pain in my back, get really strong asthma attacks- dystonia was diagnosed 1st, but been told non about it. They said Botox - and I thought- they want to perform esthetic treatment on me. Was confusing at 1st- even to detect what's going on- next to all that stress I had been in. Now is September 24. I was on 3 Botox so far- my eye twitches while writing this. I am realising on youtube Im basically seriously affected by a condition that's not just on my eye- I have those sudden cramps in my foot and leg- wery often neck pain- but for a 2 years I have been managing those with lots of practice- this eye botox could help if they have peoples understanding where to injecting it (unfortunately, they are in lack of staff) - I decide to train my face muscle with microcurrent device. I can pinpoint point exact muscle that closes my lid. Unfortunately, I discovered more muscles working strangely - and they still not went out of control- dunno-I have nobody to talk to about this. maybe should speak to GP- just to ask, why nobody told me how serious it could get- that eye dystonia- especially if it comes like big 2022 package? This foot thing hurts massively- I hope it will never last long for me to make a video of it.🤞

Do they actually give you Botox in the foot, too? Well, let's hope this does not develop badly. Dystonia on foot is exceptionally painful - and looks so scarry

Thank you so much for your work on this condition. I have cervical dystonia and this encourages me that there is a way forward to recover all be it a long process, but at least it doesn’t involve harmful drugs.

The tools from the platform have been the basis of my recovery journey which took around 1 year of constant practice. Couldn’t be more grateful to all your research gathered in one place and life changing. Thank you for this post!

The dystonia recovery program has a great variety of exercises that support the journey. I have been grateful for the rehab practitioners that have really listened to me sharing the exercises and how it can support my rehab. I believe physicians, optometrist, neurologist, and neuro- ophthalmologist need to learn of your work. Determined to rewire. Thank you for your research and curiosity.

I love these university talks where you get into the science behind these practices. As a subscriber to your recovery program, the science videos come much later than the practice/exercises and it leaves me wondering why im doing these odd (looking) exercisers for weeks! I stick with it but id be lying if i said i wasnt confused about the "why" behind the exercise more often than not. Thanks for posting this, very helpful. Looking forward to more!

This really gave me hope please tell us how you recovered?

Did rfk junior try your treatment

I live in Amsterdam and there is no physiotherapist who's familiar with the exercises that could help to lessen the symptoms. I found out myself that the right diet help me manage the symptoms better. But it's impossible to find an expert who can help me figure out what is best for me. The combination of physiotherapy, diet, neurologist. I feel I'm always on my own looking for solutions. My life is limited cause any social event is almost impossible to attend. My head shakes constantly. It's a nightmare. I'm reaching the point that I want to give up. Living like a hermit is not a solution. But not functioning socially is extremely depressive. I feel like I'm stuck. The only thing that makes my life bearable is taling diazepam. But my doctor is against it. I even ordered it illegally on line which is very risky. Those pills only make me sleep. It started when I was 13 years old. I'm 74 now so I'm just tired of living such a limited life. I know it also has something to do with a youth trauma and emotions play a big role. I'm just so sick of looking for solutions.

Yo tengo 6 meses con Distonía Cervical ya me vieron traumatólogos, fisiatras y neurólogos. Tome toda clase de tratamiento. Incluso para Parkinson que lo que hace es mas daño. Ahora estoy con terapias alternativas naturópata. Efectivamente el stress complica mas los síntomas. Botox ya me colocaron 2 veces. Perdida de dinero. No hacen efecto. Yo recomiendo control mental y emocional, meditación y medicina alternativa hasta que los médicos se pongan de acuerdo y entiendan que la causa y como controlarla

have you treated orofacial dystonia?

I have several types of dystonia and I had vocal dysphonia like he did. I retired from a stressful job in which I had to talk all day and moved to an subtropical island for almost 3 years. My voice was cured in the first 6 months after leaving that job and moving there. Now for the rest! :) I just started Dr. Farias' program.

What an absolutely beautiful viewpoint!

Thank you. I’ve had progressive dystonia. My neuromuscular specialist didn’t tell me how bad the cervical dystonia can get. It’s affected my bodily functions in multiple ways as it’s progressed. It’s turned to literally twisting my body at times and quite scary, besides excruciating pain and dangerous. When it’s happening “here and there” is bad enough. It’s been over 10 yrs since dystonia diagnosis, but I’ve struggled with other diseases including epilepsy and none have been controlled well. I have a rare gene that prevents many medicines to not work at all, some very little. I have peripheral polyneuropathy and that gets worse than many things I’ve read and luckily, has minimal times. I have home PT, but learned about neuro PT and neuro chiropractor this year. I’m learning things I should’ve been told years ago. My seizures increased in frequency and new seizures on top of ones I already have since I was a kid. I’ve learned about dystonic seizures after triggering them by massage in certain area of my neck. I don’t know how many times I’ve done that because they are very much same as my epileptic ones. It’s only by VEEG that we know. Abnormal spikes and abnormal waves recorded during monitoring many times. I don’t come out of all seizures on my own anymore. I was left twisted, back bend, neck huge and backwards. It started curled forward, but after EMTs pushed me back towards regular position, my body kept moving. ER dr refused to call my neuro specialists again. I wasn’t given rescue medicine until near an hour of things at their worst. If they don’t recognize it, must not be real (in their minds) I live in a small town with only one hospital that’s been called “don’t come here” by many residents of the area. DCH, Dickinson county hospital and for at least 20yrs. Too many people died there from neglect, inexperienced, and more. So other people call it “don’t come home” my husband drives me out of town, depending on how bad and by protocol EMTs have to go by and why I end up at local hospital at times. A hospital over 500 miles away is putting a team of over 5 types of specialists together. I have vasculitis that was diagnosed leukocytoclastic vasculitis. My other specialist said it’s already caused permanent damage and could be why several neurological disorders and autoimmune diseases have progressed the way they did. Yes, I’m confusing. Called a “complex” patient. But that doesn’t give them the right to not inform me about a handful of things. At least give referrals as needed. It’s been over 20 years of “my body hates me” 20 yrs “somethings wrong with me” (treatment resistant) but some things started over 30 years ago. But there’s treatments, including natural medicine, that I can’t try due to certain conditions I have and medicines I take. But there are things I can try, like looking for more information. Medicines not tried that are ok for me to try. Try my neurologist “you need to ask your primary” then “you need to talk to your neurologist”…. I get I’m not their average patient, but my gosh. Thank you for the information.

This helps me understand why meditation was so helpful in recovering for me! Get into peace and you can heal there 😊

This is such great advice. I was still very symptomatic when I started crushing weights in the gym which really helped me to KNOW I could recover.

I have DYT11 Dystonia. Left neck, arm and hand are affected and cognitive deficits are present. Study in 2006 suggested possibility that white matter in the brain exhibits the capacity for activity-dependent plasticity after Botox injections in patients with focal dytonia. I received botulinum toxin injections in my arm and neck and my cognition returned to normal. How about that for scientific advancement!

I am suffering from yips in playing Snooker for last 9 years. I am quite passionate about it and have tried many therapies. Can you suggest how I resolve this? Thanks.

I had cervical dystonia in November 2022 and got Botox Injection every 6 months. I know hundreds of dystonia patients in China who didn’t get Botox treatment or DBS surgery but still lives a normal life. They keep exercising everyday and use Chinese traditional treatment. Hope everyone gets better!
