Dystonia does anyone have it?

I don't have this condition but hope you'll find the information below helpful!

Dystonias are movement disorders in which sustained muscle contractions force the body into twisting or repetitive movements, or unusual postures. These movements are involuntary and can affect any part of the body. Dystonias are sometimes progressive, meaning they become worse over time, and can significantly impact a patient鈥檚 quality of life.

Dystonia can be classified in many ways. For example, focal dystonias affect just one part of the body whereas generalized dystonias have more widespread effects.
