[joella]

Hi I was just wondering if anyone on here suffers from dystonia, and what treatments have been offered besides botox, I have a hemifacial spasm which cause my right eye to twitch but in spasms closing my eye and distorting my face, I have been having botox injections around my right eye 3 monthly for around 2yrs now but they dont seem to be lasting as long in fact this time hardly worked at all, anyone else on here with same problems....Joy

Hi

Cant help direct - but I am 99% certain there is a dystonia support group - if you try googling you should be able to find them. (NB: If it proves difficult you might find info through the RSI Association - as its allied with Repetitive Strain Injury).
