    I also have claw toes due to dystonia, not dyskinesia. I have been given rounds of Botox every three months for the past two years with varying success. I am now anticipating a second DBS , this time to the GPI with an anticipated 70% reduction in dystonia of my foot and lower leg. No promises proffered relative to improved walking.

    I certainly contend with disturbed sleep most nights.  I wake multiple times every night.  I have resorted to taking a 2 mg. Dose of melatonin at 8:30 or 9:00 pm when I have had one or two previous nights of being awake after about midnight.  This approach does seem to result in more restful sleep.
