Climbing to New Heights with Dystonia

[@macintoshimann9892]

I came down with generalized dystonia in most parts of my body after a car accident. I saw 12 docs not including a hospital team plus another they called from out of town for advice to no avail when I was in the ICU for 5 days. I was forgetting how to breathe, felt like I was close to dying in the months that followed but I could tell really high doses of THC all day long we’re making a really big difference. In a desperate attempt to survive i put all my strength into retraining my brain to communicate with a body it had little feeling and use of. I was told I’d never recover and I do have far to go but I’ve made miraculous progress. Ive seen the kind of results in 6 months people get brain surgery for. 2 months ago I couldn’t go for a walk of any length on my birthday… now I’m lifting weights, have little pain, better cognition, can almost take full breaths and so much more! If you have this condition know theres much more hope than doctors, your friends, and even family can believe!

My family has Tourette Syndrome, it's like my big sis is still saying "why ya hitting yourself!" but no, I'm just ticcing and hitting my head. I have empathy for your struggle Kit.
