Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My name is Naomi Card I have generalized dystonia. I took a Medicine called ARTANE. It won t work Because I am to old. I just turned 43 years old Had Dystonia since I was 11 years old. My Grandfather on my Dad s size had it too. My Grandparents on my Dad s size were both Itlian and my Mother s size is Japanese. Thanks Naomi Card
hello If artane is ineffective then levodop/clonazipam may be considered by a neurologist so you may have to consult one again.These drugs may be useful if your doctor agrees. Genetical testing,MRI of brain may be done to find the causes.Often some neurosurgical procedures are advised by neurologists if localization of areas in brain are identified Best wishes
