THIS IS MY LIFE NOW by MARTINE SYMS Last week there was a column by Dr. Donohue that prompted a flood of calls. Dear Dr. Donohue: Please write about dystonia, a terrible disease to which there appears to be no answers. My sister has it. Dystonia comes in several varieties. The common feature of all is painful, sustained muscle contractions. The cause of dystonia isn't known. Some varieties are inherited. Although a cure isn't at hand, there are several treatments. Parkinson's disease medicines have also found a place in dystonia therapy. Botox has been a boon to many patients, especially those with limited forms of dystonia. Your sister should contact the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation for the helpful information it provides. She can contact the foundation at 1-800-377-3978. The foundation's website is www.dystonia-foundation.org. It was my first day on the phones. Tiffoney was gone, so Kathleen told me I should give it a try. I spoke to seven elderly women who believed they were seriously ill. They were all from places like Gutter, South Carolina. Or Peachtree, West Virginia, places I'd probably never go. Places where people read Dr. Donohue. When asked what I thought of their symptoms, I'd say, well, I don't know, I'm not a doctor. That's what we're supposed to say. I remember being told once that it is okay to say that you "don't know" something, and while, yes, it's okay, it's rarely ever useful. This Is My Life Now
