Pushing Through the Pain: Living with Cervical Dystonia/Spasmodic Torticollis Movement Disorder

Did you know that there is a hidden reality affecting thousands of people worldwide? It's called cervical dystonia AKA spasmodic torticollis, and today Tanya tells her inspirational story of how she pushes through the pain from this often debilitating condition. Cervical dystonia is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions in the neck. These contractions cause abnormal postures and twisting movements, making everyday tasks incredibly challenging for those affected. Despite its obscurity, cervical dystonia affects numerous individuals globally, causing severe symptoms that significantly impact their quality of life. Our mission is to shed light on this condition and raise awareness about its challenges and the disability it can cause.

About us:
We are Derec & Tanya. Welcome to our channel! We believe nature is the best medicine. We love the outdoors & have found healing in nature. So whether we are traveling around in our tiny home on wheels, named Betty White, or at our home, we call Base Camp, we like to focus on outdoor living & the benefits it can bring to your life!
We also share disability related content because, after all, it is a part of our everyday lives & the challenges we face as an interabled, disabled couple. You may also find Tanya doing solo van trips, or easy van meals...or Derec out having fun in his 4x4 wheelchair or grilling it up in his wheelchair friendly outdoor kitchen.
So we hope you will roll along with us! Haha get it... ROLL as is...on wheels (with both the wheels on the van or the wheelchair). We also are pretty funny! Just watch a live stream & you will see.
