                        I also haave spasmodic torticollis which is also called cervical dystonia.  I used to work out at the gym and do aerobics.  Have not done so in several years.  Neck excercises are the only thing that keeps me from getting worse.  I get spasms all the time.  Tried physical therapy and shots of Botox but became resistent to shots and stopped them.  I have also gained weight but am now trying to get back in shape again.  Cannot lift weights though puts to much strain on neck.  Also have difficulty with situps  I have not given up though.  I am determined to beat this thing.
