I don't think this has anything to do with weed but..

For the past 2-3 years ive been getting this certain feeling... each time I get up to walk or have to get up real fast(this happens sometimes) my leg starts to limp and I cant control it. My mouth opens and my right hand like curls up a bit and if i try to control it, i usually end up pulling a muscle. Im always afraid its going to happen in public and when it does, i cover my mouth...

My friends have seen me cover my mouth, but a few times i left my mouth uncovered and each time they do this and i tell em about it, they always say "your fine, I notice nothing about it."

Im very afraid, what should I do? Does anyone know whats wrong with me?

Basically, my body is making uncontrollable movement for a few seconds. I usually have to stand still to stop it.

Have any mercury amalgam fillings in your mouth?

Do you consume products with sucralose or aspartame, (sugar substitutes)?

These are three sources of neurotoxins.

Well I'm not sure what that means... but I don't use sugar substitutes. and no, I do not have any fillings in my mouth. I don't think it has anything to do with my mouth, its my muscles.

Also, it starts from my leg, up to my arm, then to my mouth.

Muscles in your leg AND your hand/arm AND your mouth? The same symptoms, across all three parts of your body, each time? Is it the same side of your body? I dunno, but seems unlikely that it'd just be muscles, sounds more neurological, e.g. your brain. And yeah, that seems quite scary. You know how a stroke can harm your brain and make half your body go numb? Maybe it's something like that, but obviously lesser in effect. I hate to tell you to go see a doctor, because I hate going to doctors, but...

*Shivers*.... Should I just go see a doctor? Is there anyway of stopping this from happening?

im only 15 years old....

see a doctor mate, honestly... better to be safe and he can also tell you exactly what it is most of the time so it will be easier to come to grips into wats happening... and maybe if needed any medication? its always the best thing to do in my opinion :)

My friend has something very very similar sounding,

It turned out to be slight cerebral palsy, When he gets excited or gets "involved" in something which distracts him from his body, his right hand often curls an points backwards and one of his legs will be turned inwards slightly.

Its very hard to notice and I was friends with him for 3 years before I even properly realized

I'd noticed it before but had never paid any attention.

It had also given him the TIIIIINYiest, slightest speach imprediment but you wouldn't really notice - So I think it effects his mouth sliiightly too.

Don't worry, See a doc and get a more definate answer.

Don't get wound up or paranoid, get it checked!

All the best,

I think the advice to go see a doc is a good recommendation. Your symptoms are worth looking into. Mild cerebral palsy is a possibility. Or some other sort of neurological problem could cause those symptoms, A condition called dystonia is very common. That just causes stiffness and dysfunction, usually in a limb or part of a limb, when people move. Some types of dystonia are strongly genetically linked, but the part that doesn't add up with your symptoms is the mouth involvement. Also, dystonia often comes on later than the teenage years.

Definitely go talk to your doctor and see what might be causing that. If you had a little vascular malformation in your brain or perhaps a slight electrical disturbance up there that's interfering with the signal between your brain and your legs and mouth, you'd want to know about that sooner rather than later.

I just want to know one more thing... is this a minor case? Will I be ok? Right now I'm worrying a ton and I haven't been able to do anything this whole day...

Thanks for the help everyone, I appreciate it.

Jammers, that's why it's important for you to be seen by a real in-person diagnostician and evaluated. No one can tell you whether it's minor or not. Anyone who hazards a guess about how minor or major your symptoms are is just guessing. That's why you need to see a doctor in person. Worry not, however. Most symptoms people have are caused by rather ordinary and easily fixable problems.

Let us know what you find out, OK?

I will let you guys know. Thanks for helping. I'm probably going to go see a doctor next weekend. BTW, jonny, did your friend ever go to a doctor for that problem?

Damn daima and I just went and said in another thread that you give great advice! I better pay more attention hehe.

Anyhow, on a serious note Jammers, go see a doctor. Birdgirl sounds like she knows what she is talking about, as does ganjasaurus rex.
Bothe are reasons to not rely on what is offered here alone.
Take their input to urge you into the waiting room of your local doctor.
Dont stress it , just dont ignore it. Seek your answers from someone who can better provide them.
Best wishes.

My friend just lives with it, I assume he saw a doctor yeeears ago because he was always aware of what he had - It's jus nowone else really noticed.

It doesn't bother him because its ever so mild. - Well, from what I understand it doesn't bother him, he doesn't mind talking about it and I've never seen him upset about it.

Don't worry and keep positive.

Best of luck :)

All the best,
J
