I have right hemiplegic CP. In late 1995 I was diagnosed as also having secondary dystonia affecting the same muscles. In recent months, increased musle pain has been recurring in my right chest region, and this morning I woke to a headache distinctly felt in the left half of my head, more so toward the rear of that side. It has persisted all day. It this related to or likely to be caused by the progressive nature of the dystonia? Note, I have been noticing a periodic frequency of headaches confined to the left hemisphere, but they have typically come and gone within an hour or two. However, the one today has persisted all day, and it is now 4 PM. Faithfully yours, Andrew Steers
