I was diagnosed with SCA (Spino Cerebellar Ataxia) about 20 yrs ago, then diagnosed with Dystonia about 15 yrs ago, can't really remember. I WAS having Botullinum Toxin Injections (Botox) every 3 months, which did help but I moved so now take trihexphenidyl pills which are a muscle relaxant, I want to change these as I've been on them for years. My prof of Neurology suggested I go back on Botox so we'll see.

I have Generalized Dystonia which includes Cervical Dystonia which is usually the most painful. I tried Botox injections in my neck at the suggestion of my neurologist - big mistake. The Botox just weakened my neck muscles and caused even more pain I had trouble holding my head up, and for about a month it felt like I had a pinched nerve. What ever happened to, "but first do no harm"? When I got the bill it added insult to injury.
