Sure, but it's the much less dramatic part that makes it unconvincing; at no time does this sufferer have complete control whatsoever.

Actual dystonia sufferers are apparently treated by the INJECTION (!) of botulism TOXIN (!) in order to get complete muscular control...

ETA: We could just ask the actual dystonia suffers if they believe DJ had dystonia. Well we don't need to, they already spoke up on that matter to say she didn't.

So it's not the symptoms you described that you have issue with, it's actually the degree.
The people in the 2 videos I linked seem to have varying degrees of symptoms as well - what do you make of that?

Wtf? Is any of this in response to the questions I asked about the doctor you find credible or....

One of them seems to go between a 6 and an 8 (before treatment); the other woman seems to go from a 3 to a 5 and back again. DJ went from a 0 when running to a 7 when walking. She was using the same muscles...

But, also, what I make of it is not all that important. I'm only speculating on what an educated, experienced specialist might see that would convince him, within 15 seconds, that the stated diagnosis was wrong.
