I am 22 years old and have not yet been diagnosed with dystonia but have all the symptoms. I just recently talked to my doctor about it and they plan to do an MRI on me. My Mom was diagnosed with dystonia when she was in her early twentys. The first time I had a problem with it was when I was 12 years old. Did you have any of the symptoms before you had your second child? And also what type of test did they do on you, if you don't mind me asking. I'm a little afraid of the of the testing they might do. And why did they choose that treatment for you.
