My mother is suffering from complications from various drugs for Parkinson's disease since she was diagnosed about three years ago. Her current problem is dystonia on her neck. She had Botulinum toxin injections for her dystonia condition. After the injections, her neck has been dropping forward and her chin touches her chest. Her neck position has been changed more uncomfortably instead of improving. The pressure on her neck is so strong that she has to push her face with her hand in order to lift her face into a normal position. From time to time, even when her neck is up in a normal position, she feels such strain over her neck and all over her shoulders that she has to lie down in bed. She feels as if she were carrying a heavy weight on her head and shoulders. Her physician said that there she has to wait until the effect of the medicine wears out in two to three months. I would appreciate it very much if you could share your experiences with us. Thanks. -Benny Min Benny Min (email: [log in to unmask] phone: 510-987-0453)
