I agree that there are different types of dystonia. There are diseases in which the primary symptom is dystonia (which is what I'm guessing you're talking about). However, dystonia can be a more minor symptom in other illnesses (like CRPS), a side effect of medication, etc. Some types of dystonia are minor, so I think of dystonia along a continuum of severity.

It is not just simply severe long lasting spasms. There are about 20 forms of dystonia- all vary in symptoms and onset. To learn more , visit the site http://community.wegohealth.com/group/dystonia to read personal stories about dystonia. The words used to describe dystonia are underestimated in this blog. Feel free to link up with us. beka, RN, MS, NP Founder www.caredystonia.org Hi-
