I hope you are getting suitable treatment.  For my part it was agonising but botox is very effective,  although it wears off. I hope next year to have electrical wire things put into my brain that will control the nerves and allow me to watch TV without a TV licence, or seek out sources of water, or become a one woman human electrode </p><p>Let me know how you are doing.

I hope the dystonia isn’t painful (I just googled and my first thought was involuntary movement/position sounds painful.). I have Hermansky Pudlak Syndrome, which is so rare that I learnt about it from 1 dr (who’s involved in albinism networds) and the only other medical professional I’ve met who already knew about it was recommended to me by that dr. I’ve had 2 haematologists who research platelet abnormalities and NEITHER had heard of it before! It’s a weird world.</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mastodon.social/users/DarkMatterZine/statuses/116524076632779101</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mastodon.social/users/DarkMatterZine/statuses/116524076632779101</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[darkmatterzine@mastodon.social]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 05 May 2026 21:25:06 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to #Introduction on Tue, 05 May 2026 08:46:32 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/philsalkie%40mindly.social">@<span>PhilSalkie</span></a></span> gorgeous</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://veganism.social/ap/users/116515958099907101/statuses/116521093882887465</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://veganism.social/ap/users/116515958099907101/statuses/116521093882887465</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[geri@veganism.social]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 05 May 2026 08:46:32 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to #Introduction on Mon, 04 May 2026 14:04:05 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/fragarach%40social.vivaldi.net">@<span>Fragarach</span></a></span> more characters and the veganism chimes with my personal reflection</p><p>I wrote to the admin, indicating the kind of matters I dwell on, and he very kindly welcomed me into his instance </p><p>I shall try not to disappoint </p><p>Xxx</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://veganism.social/ap/users/116515958099907101/statuses/116516680176351105</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://veganism.social/ap/users/116515958099907101/statuses/116516680176351105</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[geri@veganism.social]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2026 14:04:05 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to #Introduction on Mon, 04 May 2026 13:59:24 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/remittancegirl%40mstdn.social">@<span>Remittancegirl</span></a></span> woot woot</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://veganism.social/ap/users/116515958099907101/statuses/116516661800838427</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://veganism.social/ap/users/116515958099907101/statuses/116516661800838427</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[geri@veganism.social]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2026 13:59:24 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to #Introduction on Mon, 04 May 2026 13:34:17 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/@ArabellaLovejoy">@<span>ArabellaLovejoy</span></a></span> <span><a href="/user/geri%40veganism.social">@<span>Geri</span></a></span> "flounce" is *chef's kiss*!</p><p>I'd submit the adjectives "cosmic" "dapper", and "wholly" - that last one is very Norfolk.</p><p>The noun "lummox" needs to come back into use, as does "scatterbrain".</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mastodon.ie/users/abominabledrh/statuses/116516563028543958</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mastodon.ie/users/abominabledrh/statuses/116516563028543958</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[abominabledrh@mastodon.ie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2026 13:34:17 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to #Introduction on Mon, 04 May 2026 13:25:52 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/geri%40veganism.social">@<span>Geri</span></a></span> you're hillarious</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://kafeneio.social/users/indyradio/statuses/116516529960782359</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://kafeneio.social/users/indyradio/statuses/116516529960782359</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[indyradio@kafeneio.social]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2026 13:25:52 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to #Introduction on Mon, 04 May 2026 12:41:27 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/magsamond%40mastodon.ie">@<span>magsamond</span></a></span> Did you get moved automatically?
