The Claw

My dystonia is often referred to as the alien by family and friends. For those of you who have seen Toy Story, you will be able to understand how amusing the following was. Over the last few evenings the alien, when it has decided to spasm, has looked more and more like a claw. We instantly made the link to the aliens in Toy Story. This is now the image I have in my head of my dystonia.

I'm 32 years old, a mother, author, partner, and spoonie. I live alongside Dystonia, POTS, EDS, Osteoarthritis, and a dictionary worth of other diagnoses. This little blog has been set up to help spread awareness and bring light to these conditions and connect warriors with others who can understand each other's experiences.

  1. I just wanted to leave a quick message to say that my friends and I refer to my Dystonia as the claw from toy story. I literally do have claw like fingers from deformities in my hands, and giving lightness to it (by referring to it as the claw) makes it a little easier to deal with.
