Dystonia Awareness Week
May 3, 2016 - May 11, 2016
Dystonia Awareness Week is supported by The Dystonia Society.
Dystonia is a condition in which incorrect signals from the brain causes muscles to pull on the body and spasm. Dystonia can be very painful to a person with this condition. Once symptoms of dystonia begin, they can become progressively worse; symptoms can worsen from up to 5 years since diagnosis.
