Hi

Still waiting for a consultant, hopefully one day soon.

Looking at the internet to gather more information, and have found the condition of Dystonia.

Cant seem to see how you can tell the difference, and if they are directly connected. My symptoms to me seem to fit both.

Wondering if there is a way to diagnose, just wanted to eliminate certain conditions.

If you can help let me know.

Thanks all

Kind regards

Phil

If you consider using food additives and supplements as either treatment or as an adjunct to future prescribed treatment it might be a good idea to start now without waiting for a definite diagnosis.It might transpire that you never need to get to needing prescription meds or that the need for them is much delayed. Others have found this to be the case already.
