A personal video diary illustrating the effects of Generalised Dystonia. The video is not designed to scare anyone, rather it to educate and to create an awareness of a disability about which very little is known.

  • Stay strong.

  • If you mean the video of the cheerleader girl - then I suspected it was indeed a fake but a very hurtful one to those of us who have the condition. It's no laughing matter at all.

  • I hope that the Dystonia won't be as vicious or as bad as it can be. Do feel free to email me if you wish to paddyjdoyleATgmailDOTcom. I'm sure you'll figure out that email. If I were to put the address in the usual way, youtube and Google don't let me send this post to you.

  • Dear Paddy, thank you for sharing your ordeal with us the general public who care.

    May I ask since how long you're suffering from GD? About the eamail, you should know that everyone can use the personal email integratade in this website up in the right corner under our name or pseudonymn. I would like to exchange emails in that system because it more personalysed and private. I wish you well Paddy and again thank you for sharing your ordeal with us we sure do ampathise with you my dear friend.

  • Are you able to take any meds for this? MY left shoulder started twitching three days ago and I cant figure out why...the only thing that helps it is valium, but after two hours of taking my meds it comes back :( How can u tell if its dystonia? The er doc said it was a focal movement disorder of unknown cause. I also have Lupus so we are trying to rule out a Lupus related movement disorder...I hope u feel better soon

  • Thanks for that comment. Life can be difficult but somehow we just have to keep going. Best wishes. Paddy.
