Sarah's Blog: What Dystonia Has Taught Me

10/9/07
 
Living with dystonia has taught me a lot of different things. First off dystonia has taught me not to take anything for granted. Dystonia also taught me that I am a very determined and strong willed person. I do not give up when the going gets tough. I have learned not to give up on myself because I can do it. In addition I have learned that when someone tells me I can't do something it gives me that much more strength to prove them wrong. Living with dystonia has taught me that other people really do care. People want to help you and try to understand what you are going through. People want to be educated on dystonia, so this can be the perfect opportunity to share your story.

My dream for the future is to help people. I think it is very important to reach out and help people both in my career and in my community. As far as dystonia goes, of course my dream is for a cure but until then better treatments for those of us who are not responding to what is already out there.
