Dystonia

Chuck Lampe, 44, an independent publisher in Florida, has been taking shots of Botox deep into the muscles of his legs for 10 years to lessen the discomfort of a genetic disorder called torsion dystonia, an extreme and long-lasting version of the condition commonly called “writer’s cramp.”

In one type of vocal dystonia called lingual protrusion dystonia, a person’s tongue can protrude when they try to speak, strangling their words.
