I also had the procedure and ordered the drugs. I had a botulinum injection 5 days ago. All I feel is like other weakness and injection sites. However, there is currently no proper effect.

I just finished the survey. I’ve been getting injections for a very long time. I’m so pleased this is being discussed and studied.

@Donnsi‍ How have the injections worked since starting them? Any noticeable results?

@Chi910‍ How have the injections improved the symptoms with your condition?

@Lee__R Amazing results for 3 months then must have injections again so ongoing. It changed my life. Are you considering them? I strongly recommend it. Please be sure to find a specialty doctor who know hoe to work with those with cervical Dystonia.

Will be doing the EMG guided Botox injections. This is for the focal hand dystonia I am dealing with. Praying!

Well... I had 13 Botox shots in my right forearm last Monday. It's been 6 days since then and the only thing I have is weakness in my right hand and lower arm. Did not relieve the spasms or hand clenching yet. Will keep you up-to-date.

I started Botox injections in July. Did not alleviate the pain in my neck. So discouraged I am at a total loss as to what to do next. Cervical dystonia has totally changed my life, can't do much of anything I have pain 24/7 without any relief. Lying down helps if I keep my head perfectly still.
