Interesting article in the Mirror on dystonia, and what struck me was how sensible and accurate it was, compared to the ugly scare stories I have seen in the Mirror on the same subject. I think the folks at the UK Dystonia Society may have something to do with that.
Also a quote about the specialise he went to see:
“I went to see a specialist, a neurologist, who was about 7ft tall, very expensively dressed and was very upper class.”
Sounds oddly like my old mate, Prof Quinn. Anyway, from this article:
“Dystonia is a neurological disorder which causes involuntary muscle contractions leading to abnormal movements or postures. It is not fatal and can be managed through drugs or sometimes surgery.
Short and sweet.
