About this work

Description

Revealing the story behind sufferers of the rare disease dystonia, which causes muscles to go into spasms, including Janet Hunter who describes making her children's breakfast as "like running a marathon". However a pioneering treatment involving electodes inserted into the brain offers some hope, but it is very risky and is not always successful.
