My Story…
The onset of Dystonia for me started at age 9. After many years of doctor appointments I was eventually diagnosed with Dystonia at age 14. I did not require a wheel-chair until the age of 16. I used a manual wheel-chair for 25 years. I have been using a power wheel-chair for the past 6 years. 6 years ago I started having severe back pain which led me to start seeing a neurologist and I eventually started going to the Movement Disorder clinic at Toronto Western Hospital. They diagnosed the type of my Dystonia as Secondary Dystonia in 2014. I had the DBS surgery in February of 2015. I have not had any improvement from the DBS surgery yet but I am still hopeful.
