Hi Brian, I have Spasmodic Torticollis. I had developed it from a lifting accident but sinse then I have experimented with lots of my own idea's on how to rid myself of it drug free. I used botox and all the other drugs but only for the temporarally relief. I believe that the chemicals from external factors such as the ones you mention in your post are definately not good for you, especially when you may be exposed to them for long periods. The toxic chemicals that can get into our blood from inhilation is an important factor to consider when understanding the onset of the st severety. I used to smoke and the poisons that are in ciggerettes are the major contributing factors to making my st worse. This I believe for my self to be a %100 Fact. My st is no where near as severe as it became for such a long time sinse I stopped smoking. I was living with its power for so long that I nearly wished for death. Any toxic substanse is no good for the body especially the brain as that is where the control of everything is. I suggest you contact a man on the Spasmodic Bulletin board for more help as he has been at the worste and come through drug free. His name is Mr Ed. I hope you are in comfort and dont ever give up. sincerely Russell
