Hi, i am 37 and ive had this for years but it got worse 6 years ago. I went on the dystonia site and asked if someone had st but for some reason my post will not go through...i know other people have other parts of this focal dystonia , like the're voice, eyes, being affected but ive never talked to a person around my age with st. I would really like to talk to someone with this between the ages of 30 to 40.for people who dont know what it is. it starts off mild from like early 20's and is usually misdiagnosed as anxiety. the dystonia foudation are not sure if st actually causes anxiety and depression but i ended up with it..It is involuntary movement of the neck which causes head temors. any amount of stress makes it worse and then your brain is telling your head to turn right,left up or down telling you thats strait.they say its nerve damage to the basil ganglia. you really cant have any exitable emotions. basicly, fulfilling dreams, and living life to the fullest ,is out. rare dis.

sure but why is this in psych? it's a physical problem too, need to see a massage therapist, chiropactor and maybe an acupuncturist
