The use of the Dystonia Severity Action Plan (DSAP) may be helpful for monitoring unstable dystonia and is outlined in Section 3.

Gabapentin may significantly ameliorate dystonia severity and improve activities of daily living and quality of life in children with severe dystonia.
The physiopathology of dystonia remains a mystery. The gabaergic transmission may be involved in the origin of dystonia. Gabapentin is a gabaergic agent and therefore it can be useful in dystonia. Patients and methods: 28 patients with different forms of dystonia and hemifacial spasm were included in this open study. They received gabapentin

Levodopa can be considered as part of a diagnostic evaluation (with biochemical and genetic testing) if there is a suspicion that an individual may have dopa-responsive dystonia. Clonidine or gabapentin are suggested when dystonia is severe. With increasing dystonia severity, multiple medications may be required.

This story is great fun; it's sexy too. I especially enjoyed the heroine/narrator's personality, including her fairly strong—but decidedly quirky—ethical principles. I do feel sorry for her uncle, though. He got left out of the action entirely. Perhaps there will be a Part 3? Fine with me, if so.
Not much good news. Went to my neuropathist on Wednesday for a series of tests. 'Yes', I have nerve damage and 'no', the doctor looking at the results couldn't understand why. Essentially, they ran an escalating electric current from various spots on my lower leg and foot to toes to see how I responded. I highly recommend this as a means of torture.
On the downside, I am becoming resistant to my pain medication, so life sucks coming and going. My psychiatrist upped my Gabapentin from 300 Mg to 400 Mg [3x a day] and it isn't helping. Woot? I'd kill for a decent night's sleep.
Thank you for asking. I really wish I had better news.

On the beneficial side, I know where I want to take Chapter 5 in this tale. I have much of it mapped out in my mind.
They travel to the mainland in pursuit of the Atlanteans ... which completes the 13th Circle of the Black Witches Coven (whoops!) ~ giving the descendants of the other 7 the power they have been long denied. There is still the government task force on the serial killings to deal with plus the on-going conflict with the White Coven. The main mystery remains ~ what was an Atlantean doing breeding with an Abenaki and teaching at least one half-breed offspring magic over 400 years ago ... and why would a normally amoral Altantean 'noble' be interested in said half-breed today?
God - sometimes I really wish I had a clone ... or two.
