In this episode of the Warriors of Dystonia Podcast Kate took the time to share her experiences of living with benign essential blepharospasm, which began four years ago. Benign essential blepharospasm is a rare form of dystonia that affects the muscles around the eyelids and results in involuntary eye spasms and can cause the eyelids to twitch, flutter or blink uncontrollably.  In some cases, such as Kate's, sufferers may be unable to open their eyes at all due to eyelid spasm.
