Is there a correlation between dystonia and fatigue?
The constant movement and muscle contractions of dystonia can be compared to working out approximately 18 hours a dayand for people whose symptoms don’t stop during sleep, 24 hours a day. This can definitely result in fatigue and diminished stamina. Fatigue may be confused with lack of energy or motivation which may be a sign of depression or other medical conditions. Adequate rest and supplementing sleep with restorative practices such as meditation or relaxation techniques are a mainstay of coping with fatigue for many people.
