Living With Dystonia, News for Real Life
It started six years ago, with a simple bike accident.
“I was 14 at the time,” says Spokane Valley resident Megan Sargent. ”And about a week after that, my neck just snapped to the side.”
With her head torqued and locked on the right side, her doctor sent her home with some muscle relaxers. Assuming it was an isolated incident, Sargent and her family didn’t…

I too am under the care of Dr. Hayes and tried the Botox injections just a few weeks ago. He is a compassionate man and very supportive of your retreats.
Lindsay, tell me about your cervical dystonia and how it affects you and your life.
Thank you,
Deb

- Thank you very much, Lindsay. There is much need for a spirirtual side, but it seems to go the byway when you are totally consumed with this dreadful dystonia.
It rules your life 24/7. I used to belong to a website that sent me an email a day, trying to keep me aware of the love of God and the Bible, but long lost it when my computer broke. Are you aware of a website like this? It at least made me stop and think.
I thank you for your time and efforts,
Elizabeth

- Hi Lindsay.
I am not going to physical therapy any more. Insurance only pays for so many sessions. I do have exercises to do at home.
I am still doing Botox, saw Dr. Hayes a couple of weeks ago. He is the best!
Looking forward to hearing about the retreat.
Take care,
Martha

- Hi Lindsey,
I am doing OK. Did physical therapy with my leg for about 7 weeks and it seemed to help. Saw Dr. Hayes today and he validated that there was an improvement.
My sister in law sent me the article from the Ledger. we talked about it and he said you were great!
Take care,
Martha
