Profile Information
- In the online health communities I participate in, I'm:
- not really sure where I fit yet
- This site is:
- my twitter
- More about me (my health interests and reasons for joining WEGO Health)
- Happily married for 29 years I have 3 grown girls and 3 grands opps! almost forgot I have 1 great-grand baby. Its hard to believe I am a gg mother. denial I suspect.
I have cervical dystonia with a tremor. This disorder has also brought about numerous other things that brought attention to my spine. I also have been newly dx with spinal spondylosis and spinal stenosis. I don't work any longer (disability), however I do sing in a barbershop quartet and chorus when I am able. I am afraid the dystonia is hampering that too as well. Oh well I guess that is life. One door may close, and another will open.

A. James Hillelson (Jim) said… - Good Evening, Lene! Thanks so much for connecting with me on my first day and in becoming 'friends.' I don't much of anything about Dystonia, but now I will learn. And, perhaps in doing so be of service to someone along the way.
I look forward to getting to know you better and being of whatever support that I may be. Never hesitate, my new friend. Do stay in touch!
Many Blessings!

JOSE GARCIA said… - I have been Licensed in Acupuncture over 20 yrs.. I have found it to be inconsistent in treating Dystonia. However, I am academic and western trained. I have been to traditional Acupuncturists without any success.
Like everything in Dystonia, some treatments help some but not others. I have done Acup. on myself, a little uncomfortable, but at times I have noticed some decrease in pain and muscle spasm. Unfortunately for short periods of time. I seem to get better results when I needle myself.
You can give Acupuncture a try. It's safe. (as long as they know what they are doing) worse that can happen is that nothing happens. Again whomever you go to needs to be licensed and qualified.
This information is my personal opinion. I am pretty sure I am not licensed in your state.
Best Jose
