In the past 3 yrs, I have been asked a zillion times by neurologists if anyone at all in my family has dystonia. I've said no; the source of my dystonia a mystery. I just found out my grandmom's sister had Parkinsons.(she didn't live near us so I rarely saw her & the family never talked about it-don't know why) So, my question is, is this significant at all? Would the parkinsons be considered a family history of dystonia? Thanks.
