This is my diary of my journey with Dystonia. I help others who have Dystonia, or are caregivers to someone with Dystonia. I'm a Certified Professional Coach, who coaches clients in areas of Life and Relationships. I also coach, both caretakers for people with Dystonia, and people with Dystonia, who are in desperate need for emotional support. Coaching can be conducted over the phone, in the comfort of your own home. Contact me for appointments and fees, don't go through my website.

SAND
My new tool I use when my neck and back muscles feel tense and hurt. I pour it out in a tray and move the SAND around as I watch t.v. The sensation of the SAND on my finger tips and the look of the SAND as I move it around is mesmerizing, and I find myself feeling calm almost instantly. My muscles relax and the pain subsides. This may not be true for most people with Dystonia, but it sure is a temporary fix for me! It's sold at Brookstones. You can even purchase it online. :)

Hi Donna, I'm glad you still have your blog...I discovered it while searching for something else (dehydration). I have dystonia (since 1987)...a mixed bag. I'm hoping to have DBS this spring but having some other health challenges to get settled first. I experience something similar to your response to "sand therapy" (which I couldn't do) with my art, "bead therapy." Perhaps you'd like to visit my blog, www.betweenthetwitches.com, I'd love to hear from you. Will check out your website. Blessings, Susan
Susan, I emailed you back but not sure if you received it. Good luck with the DBS. I'll say a prayer for you in hopes that your health challenges go away soon and fast! I took a look at your blog and love the art!!!!!!!!!
