Check out this case of ATP1A3-Associated Paroxysmal Dystonia by LeDoux in the Tremor and Hyperkinetic Disorders Journal. Triggers can include chocolate. Did you know that paroxysmal episodes can be triggered by emotional excitement, heat, cold, exercise, chocolate, and menses. They may last 5 min.

8 years ago today I
broke my spine in 2 places. Couldn't walk.
Had many months of physical therapy
and hard work that felt impossible, but I
made it. I didn't quit. ls my walking always
perfect? No. But I learned that I can survive
anything.
Don't give up! You're stronger than
