My name is Cathy Lynch. This is my story of my battle with Dystonia. For others suffering with the same affliction, maybe this will give you some insight into what has helped me cope or not cope with daily activities. For all the physicians out there, DOESN'T ANYBODY KNOW ABOUT DYSTONIA????? This is my attempt to raise awareness about Dystonia to the public and especially all medical practitioners.

Its a New Year 2012
I was determined to get myself on a new path for recovery after returning from Santa Fe and Abigail's clinic. The first week back I went to the gym, ballet and then got sick, really sick. I was hot, cold, nauseous and very itchy. Finally I discovered a few spots under my right arm. Too late. I should have gone to the doctor immediately. I had come down with the shingles. A few days later came the pain. Ugh! On top of Dystonia, getting caught up at school from my week off, and now the Shingles. What else. As usual I persevered but my Dystonia symptoms were worse because of it. The Naturopath gave me some injections to help with the pain. The botoxt shots I had in January wore off much earlier and everything became even more difficult to accomplish than normal. School finished for the summer on April 10 and on Friday, April 13, I had my next set of Botox injections. I didn't even give Biopuncture a second thought. The Botox involves one session and the results start to take effect after one week. The Shingles are finally gone and I am off to a new start again.

Hi There, I just found your site when I googles dystonia and shingles. As I developed shingles this past few days and wanted to see if others suffer from this more than those without dystonia. I also saw that you have attended the ST clinic in Santa Fe. I wondered if you would tell me how it improved your life and condition. Thankyou so much.
