Morning’s with Dystonia
Dystonia has to be one of my least favourite symptoms. It comes to get me in the morning sometimes at 4 AM sometimes at 7 AM. I'm trying to get up and get my daughter ready for school. It's excruciatingly painful the way I would describe it is similar to a swimmers cramp x 10 that never let’s up. It’s always there with me in the morning until my meds kick. Sometimes it's so painful I can't get up and move. And I just sit there and count the minutes until my medication can kick in.
