Dystonia is a neurological disorder in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. It may be inherited or caused by birth-related trauma, physical trauma, infection, or a number of other possibilities.
This disorder may range from mild (facial twitches or limb twitches) to severe (whole body). It can also be attributed to one's vocals, where the person won't be able to talk and will use a machine to communicate.
There is currently no treatment for patients suffering from dystonia.
This one is a pretty severe case.
If you're using Chrome, the right column of this blog isn't displaying correctly. Switch to Firefox. If you're using the iPad, you're a tool. If you're using IE, go kill yourself.
(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)
