If you have spasmodic torticollis some of the best advice I have to
offer would be get tested then treated of herpes simplex:
http://www.ashastd.org/herpes/herpes_bloodtest.cfm

or try the main link to find the herpes blood test info:
http://www.ashastd.org/

This article covers information how when herpes invades the brain it
has been found to cause spasmodic torticollis:
http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5677308-fulltext.html

My herpes antibody count is very high, 38.40. I have suffered ear
infections, tinnitus, spasmodic torticollis, partial deafness, skin
rashes, tremors and many more. Not a single doctor ever asked me to be
blood tested for herpes. I retied on disabilty at age 38 and I am 53
now. But the doctors did not hesitate to recommmend me to United
States psychiatrists for 'treament' and therapy. I am now a memeber of
this organization:
http://www.cchr.org
Anone else going to a psychiatrist or taking psychtropic drugs might
like to read this website:
http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic3447.htm

Also, anyone considering coming here to Virginia for medical help or
treament may want to think long and hard and study this man's website:

Hope this inforamtion is helpful to someone.

Also, I have had numerous MRI's and apparently nothing has ever shown
up to indicaate herpes simplex encephalitis so apparently MRI's are
not the way to detect that conditon in every case.

Thanks for such a helpful list of links, Rich

In 1985, I went to Reno/Lake Tahoe...everybody on a tour got sick and
they were talking about this strange flu, saying it had to be an allergy
from the desert plants...

A few years later they linked it to the Epstein Barr Virus...I remember
Oprah doing a show, saying with EBV people could not get up off the
couch and walk across the room and then this began to be called Chronic
Fatigue syndrome.

I got over the flu and continued life as normal (lacked some energy)
until the day I pulled the muscle in my neck leading to ST...in 1988

The local doctor wanted to do a full blood work and I had the highest
EBV antibodies possible on the test...

EBV is a herpes simplex virus.

Rich, no spinal fluids were tested...At the time I did not see a
connection with my neck and EBV(1988),,,,when I got on line in 1997 the
valtrex story was just coming to light.. Some of us started using
G****fruit Seed Extract after one could not afford the Valtrex....I
still take GSE for colds and other viral infections but it is not to be
taken with Ativan due to G****fruit whatever it does in the mix

I remember a Japanese study with Suzuki et al that listed herpes simplex
as a cause for ST...after injuries..these older studies are no longer
available. Googling Herpes Simplex and Spasmodic Torticollis had a lot
of links.
