In answer to your question - Can anyone else find a connection with head trauma?

- Hi Joanne,
The first few years of having dystonia, I felt were the most difficult. It has a tendency to worsen until you hit a plateau at about 5 years. Did it take a long time for you to be diagnosed or was it right away. I am unsure regarding DBS early in the game. I know Beka Serdans if very knowledgable regarding DBS surgery and is an excellent resource. I would ask her opinion. By the way, welcome to this forum. If you have facebook I am on it. I am under Debbie Graham. Please feel free to add me as a friend. :)
