Dysport

[taihde]

Had my 3 month appointment for botux scheduled for April 2. My doctor told me he'd like to try Dysport as he'd had some success with some patients feeling faster relief and for a longer time (up to 5 months as opposed to 3). It is now day 2 following the injections and it's working. I can bend my fingers for the first time in months and my arm is straighter. I'm thrilled and can't wait to show my therapist the.improvement today. Something positive for a change.

how wonderful

i will look this treatment up as i have never heard of it. does it help rigidity in other parts of the body

I only have rigidity in my left arm so don't know. Just got back from PT and they were amazed at the increased movement in my wrist and arm.

That sounds great. Botox took a couple of weeks to work in Ruth's right foot when she first had it in Feb 2017 and she now has an injection every 3 months. But the pain from the dystonia never came back so it does work.

That is good to hear. I have not heard of dysport before. My hubby is waiting for Botox on his eyelids so this is a whole new area of treatment for us.

Hope you get the longer term

Benefit the drug promises.
