My recent visit to the Opticians - cervical dystonia

About a couple of weeks ago I had to go to the opticians. An absolute nightmare at the best of times and even more so when you can't keep your head still. But, what was really cool was that one of the people working at the opticians had cervical dystonia too! This is the first person I met face to face who not only has dystonia, but has the same type as me!

Hey brother. Good to hear and see you and listen to your experience with this painful disorder. I have both-- tourette syndrome and cervical dystonia . I also invite you to listen to me share on how certain health principles and tools can really help to make these symptoms more manageable and become aware of a sense of inner peace that is here irregardless of the imbalances in the body and mind. I love to have dialogues and answer questions of others who share this common struggle. Thanks for your honest video.!!..:)

Hey man, took a look at your channel there, looks like I need to book some time off work and do a binge watch :D I made some serious changes in my lifestyle because I am flying rapidly towards my mid 40s and I want to be here as long as I can for my wife and daughters. I really got into regular exercise, stopped drinking any sort of caffeine drinks and changed my diet too. Not sure if it was that or perhaps being in a better frame of mind, but whatever it was has helped me manage my dystonia greatly. Well, when it comes to the neck pulling. More recently I have developed a more noticeable tremor, which is a bit of a downer, but I will power through. Take care and best wishes from Belfast buddy!
