How are Cervical Dystonia and ET tremors related?

I am having head tremors. I had them once about 7 years ago when I was under extreme stress, but they seem to go away. I have always felt like there was something wrong with my neck on my right side. I always have tenderness and pain and suffer from headaches alot. Do you think this could be related?

You may be suffering from another type of localized Dystonia called Torticollis. (painful neck spasms) Often sufferers of Dystonia have more than 1 area involved. generalized dystonia can occur as a result of neurological disorders such as Parkinson's and strokes. It is difficult to treat but anticholinergic and benzodiazepine drugs often help. Biofeedback is also helpful.

Thanks, I just started Taking Topamax. Does anyone have any sucess with it and head tremors. It makes me feel funny. I feel like I still have the tremors, but dont feel them. I am going to a ciropractor to have my neck checked out. What is biofeedback? Report It
