2 weeks

Today marks 2 weeks since I've gotten the botulinum toxin treatment. I guess this is as good as it gets for now.

Progress:

• My head is no longer stuck in dystonia to the left side


• There is less pain


• I am no longer choking when I eat


• I can use a computer again


• I can read again


• I can brush my own teeth and shave again


• I can walk without stumbling


• side effects: my mood is better, I'm able to sleep again, my appetite has come back

Regrets:

• I am still prone to sudden dystonic posturing
  


• It is still difficult to drive


• It is still difficult to use a camera


• It is still difficult to look someone in the eye.


• I am still unable to go back to work, speak to people in public

...My bosses replied to my email the standard "hope you feel better" responses. I think I've lost them completely.
