    Thank you for sharing your thoughts and unfortunate discovery of eye dystonia. I have a very similar paradoxal symptoms including, when I am talking to someone (and not by myself), my eyes open wide. But when I'm listening, my eyes slowly close shut. I do have short term control (moments) when i sense danger, i can open them. But then seconds later, they may try to close or squint (causing blurry vision). My neurologist calls it Meige syndrome, But that is just a general term, and I do NOT have any other symptoms such as tremors or spasms. The eyes just slowly close to a squint (barely open). Botox has little to no affect, so I'm contemplating surgery that will help lift the lids. I just don't want them to remove anything, such as an eye muscle. Finding a qualified and sympathetic surgeon is extremely hard. I hope to find some answers in the Dystonia Society. This has definitely been a life-changing event and after two years, adjusting is exhausting and frustrating. Thanks again for sharing.

    I was not diagnosed with Cervical Dystonia until my mid thirties. It took many doctors, M.r.i'.s, misdiagnosis, etc. I was hit by a S.U.V in 2004 while walking and my spine was injured (4 broken bones) there was also trauma to my muscles on right side where it was completely crushed. I have many other spine problems but thats for another day. With Dystonia, it is not known if it is genetic or caused by trauma. I currently see a Neurologist for treatment and get botulinum toxin injections every 3-4 months in my shoulders, head/neck and forehead for the migraines. It has helped some. Which is better than nothing. I am also on other medications of course to help with the constant muscle spasms. But I recommend the treatment if you have not had it. Hope this helps others that reads this. I wish you all the best that are out there suffering like I am.

    What a great guy it’s one of the hardest things in the world I got diagnosed with dystonia when I was 16 but i started getting it when I was 12 years old. It was so hard to get diagnosed I had no idea what was happening to me I couldn’t explain it very well and just felt so alone 😔 I’m currently taking epilepsy drugs to calm it down as apparently there’s nothing I can really take for it but it helps take the edge of and reduces them from happening but I have phases when it can be really bad and I’ve been getting it really bad at the moment and I’m so fed up and feel so alone with it but people like this guy really make me realise that I’m not alone and there are people going through the same thing as me. I have so much respect and love for those battling this condition it ain’t easy and I don’t know who needs to hear this but you are not alone you are strong and brave you have got this you beautiful incredible people! 💯👏💙

    I was diagnosed with Cervical Dystonia at age 27 in 2007. It wasn't too bad at first, but after 15 years it has gotten worse. I can't even sleep lying down because the neck/head movement keeps me from falling asleep. For the first 10 years or so I used alcohol to deal with the pain and spasms and damaged my liver. Now that I cannot consume alcohol nothing seems to help. I tried Botox injections for the first couple of years, but that didn't help much, if at all. I'm to the point now that I don't where to turn. I cannot drive a car or work because of this condition.

    I think I have eye dystonia. I've had stabbing eye pains that started in December 2013 when I was only 28. I woke up in the morning with this stabbing eye pain. It felt like my eye was being stabbed from the inside out with a knife or needle. Sometimes the eyes felt gritty like there was sand in them. It was so bad I screamed and thought my eye was exploding in my head. It hurt to open my eyes and tears were pouring out. I've been to so many doctors and specialists and have just been given ointments and drops, but sometimes they don't work. I sometimes need a cane to walk around my house so I don't walk into stuff. I also wear sunglasses every time I leave the house, even on rainy days and in winter. I don't have symptoms every day, but on mornings I do wake up with the pain it really limits what I can do.

      @@puddincakes1005 Probably wouldn't do anything. I saw my optometrist a year ago and the scans of the back of the eye showed I had basement membrane dystrophy. So, now I have a definitive diagnosis and take drops for it. The drops don't help much with the pain though so I need to take advil for that.

      @@puddincakes1005 That's alright. I forgot I had posted this comment a year ago. I wish the drops would prevent the pain, but they don't. I'm sorry to hear you have stabbing pains. Hope you are able to get something to take for them.

    The Doctors also said it was in my head. Your story is so inspirational and true to what I am still contending with every day. 3 years of botox shots and no improvement. Still looking for a remedy. Another symptom I am dealing with is balance. It is so difficult to keep focus when you're trying to correct your head in the direction you're heading towards. So depressing and frustrating. Oh, it also is crappy when your friends and family think you're making it up.

      i think they say this when their B*S* does not work. Rather than do some research they would rather pass the blame onto the patient.

    I was diagnosed with dystonia this year. It's been incredibly difficult and frustrating. I'm a professional dancer so to not have complete control over my body is absolutely devastating. Mentally its been extremely difficult, and I'm still in the phase where I try to hide my symptoms. It's exhausting. I go for my third round of botox shots this week. It doesn't really seem to be helping though. I'm just wondering if there's anyone out here with this disorder who has tried to find the root cause, and treat it that way. I would really like to get to the bottom of this instead of masking it.

      Please tread lightly when considering surgery. Consult multiple doctors and ask to be referred to patients who have had surgery successfully. Promises are cheap but you will be the one living with the outcome!
