Extra head turning

Hi Everyone, Last night while watching tv my head was turning as it does but suddenly I found I could see over my right and left shoulder. This has happened before and now of course it’s back to my limited range of not being able to scan a room or environment without turning my whole body. Has anyone experienced anything similar. .?

yes, I get some variation in the intensity of the head turning. Some days I can push a bit against it, other days not so much. Whether this is because of the botoxin moving through the muscles or because the dystonia varies in intensity by itself, who knows.

Thanks rtn3421 for your reply. I haven’t had Botox for past 2 years so maybe it is the dystonia. Certainly understand when you say sometimes you can push against it. I have been considering that it really is a syndrome and it can take on a life of it’s own.
