What is dystonia you ask?  Well I had never heard of it either.  According to Wikipedia, dystonia is a "neurological movement disorder in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures."

An Omaha, Nebraska mother of three, Kellie Sprunk, 28, lives in constant pain suffering from cervical dystonia.  From KETV.com they say it causes spasms in her neck and shoulders, followed by vomiting, blackouts and trips to the emergency room.
