Bad News

i am starting to have anxiety.  i hate everything about dystonia.  i hope everyone who reads this can help me promote awareness and help to find a cure.  i am thinking of finding a walk or something to take part in, would anyone be interested in joining me? 
things are getting worse by the day.  my back gets stuck now and wakes me up alot at night.  last week two fingers curled in on my right hand and have not released.  it makes me sick.  i cant do anything.  its so hard to lift hailey, to get her dressed, to cook and clean and do normal things a stay at home mom does.  its ridiculous.  sometimes my hips and legs hut so bad i feel like by next week i could be in a wheelchair.  i dont really know whats happening with my surgerym, i guess they still havents heard from my insurance and the frame to hold my head in place hasnt arrived yet.  another thing to make me sick.  ugh.  if they cant do it november 17th, i will probably have it december 8th.  it seems a bit close to christmas.   i really want to feel good on christmas, hailey is going to be so cute and have so much fun opening presents this year.
well i guess ill go for now.  im going to research some kind of walk and let everyone  know the details, let me know if your interested in helping. 
sorry for the spelling errors and for the negativity, i just feel like poo and had to vent!

update on Dystonia and Family

I have been doing as well as could be expected.  I am back in Florida so it's nice to be with Ryan.  Although I am still upset about the whole thing, I am trying hard to smile and not let it show.  The spasms have returned and have gotten worse since the DBS was removed.  When I suck on a piece of candy or ice, my throat tightens up.  It's very scary but Im hoping it won't get any worse.  My neck also twitches sometimes and my foot spasms have come back.  My hand is curled in but if I think about it, I can straighten my wrist (not my fingers).  The most upsetting part is that I was just looking at pictures of myself the day after DBS and I had a huge smile on my face because I had made it through and then a couple weeks later there was a picture of my hand open.  I had never been so excited as I was that day.  I had so much in my head that I wanted to do now that I could use my hand and most of it involved Hailey.  Hailey helped me ...

Pregnant With Dystonia

Well, hello there and welcome to my blog. These last couple months have been stressful, exciting, painful, happy and scary. I'm working on keeping these feelings positive! A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with Dystonia. My left hand has curled into a fist and I can no longer use my fingers. My wrist is permanantly stuck in a spasm and I now wear a brace 24/7. I get daily spasms in my feet and sometimes its hard to walk because I don't know when it is going to happen. I have muscle spasms in my back quite often and occassionally in my neck and jaw. On top of the dystonia, I have multi-directional instability in both of my shoulders, causing them to dislocate very frequently. In February, 2010 I took a home pregnancy test and it was positive! It was the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. Although my boyfriend and I were a little nervous, we smiled and started to plan our life together with our baby that was on the way. Since then, I haven't been able ...

Updates ❤️

It's 430 in the morning and i wake up to Max's whimper over the baby monitor. I get up to go get him and the first thing I notice is that I cant open the door. My left hand is so weak I cant turn the door knob. I try with my right hand even though I have no feeling in it. As the door opens my forearm goes into spasm and causes excrutiating pain. i've had quite a few problems with my arms and hands over the years, but this is the worst it's been. The Botox wasn't working so we tried a new medication called xeomin and my left hand seems to be opening a bit, but it's completely useless because it's so weak. I can't do anything with it. My right arm has been affected by the dystonia, but also I have carpal tunnel so the two of those together also makes doing anything very difficult. Hopefully a DBS adjustment will help soon. After Max was born, I was diagnosed with a pituitary macro prolactinoma. I didn't know what it was at first, but then found ou...
