	Myotonia Information Page: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
		Myotonia is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by the slow relaxation of the muscles after voluntary contraction or electrical stimulation.
		Myotonia is a symptom commonly seen in patients with myotonic muscular dystrophy and in a group of disorders called channelopathies (hereditary diseases that are caused by mutations in the chloride sodium or potassium channels that affect the muscle membrane).
		Myotonia also may be triggered by exposure to cold.

	Myotonia Congenita - Health Centers News Story - WCVB Boston
		Myotonia congenita is an inheritable congenital (present from birth) disorder characterized by slow relaxation of voluntary muscles, such as those in the legs.
		Myotonia congenita can be either an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive disease.
		The cause of myotonia congenita is believed to be an abnormality in the chloride channels of muscle cells (chloride ions are required for a muscle to relax).
