Abbigail Wade, has a genetic condition called Dystonia Type 11. What started as a small tremor in Abby's hand when she was 3 years old, took 7 years of testing, MRIs, EEGs and bloodwork to get a diagnosis. Dystonia Type 11 is a progressive condition that causes Abby's muscles to cramp along with twitching and jerking. Only 20 years old, she has difficulty walking and must rest often no matter the activity. Having been through so much trauma in her life, living every day in pain, Abby continued to search for a solution and found it. Deep down, hope was not lost, it was found with Deep Brain Stimulation. She bravely chose brain surgery in hopes for a new beginning.
