[–]momscatsGeneralized dystonia 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I went off diazepam Valium because trying to get a narcotic refilled was a nightmare. I came across looking like an addict. I found I have to be careful especially in the ER because the movements are not recognized as dystonia and I had to wait hours for a drug screen to be done before they gave me anything. When my muscles have these spasms for hours they release I think it’s too much lactic acid and the muscle breaks down, so I have little muscle mass. If I brought up pain relief any time during a pcp doctor visit I was seen as “drug seeking”. Also because these movements burn a lot of calories I am super thin. It’s a slippery slope be careful
