I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia nearly 3 year's ago although I think I had it from been about 19 I always suffered with constant neck pain and stiffness but doctors kept telling me was just my arthritis in my spine wasn’t untill December 2019 my head had literally bent to the right laying in my shoulder I had an mri scan and was told I had fluid on my spine was kept in hospital for 5 days in traction to then be told I may need to wear a halo for 6 months and possible surgery only when they looked into more in 2020 that they diagnosed cervical dystonia it as made a huge impact on my life was out of work for over 10months was suicidal very depressed and thought there was no hope,

I’m 45 and have 4 beautiful children and 2 granddaughters.
