B12, calcium, potassium, iron panel, magnesium and sodium labs done?

Thyroid labs done?

I would recommend having NCS and EMG of the upper and lower extremties done and an MRI of the cervical spine.  

In regards to your fitness:  Are you overweight?  Diet good?  Smoker/drinker? Caffeine drinker?

I am not asking about the meds because I think they are the CAUSE of your problems; I am just trying to see what the physician is thinking is wrong by what he has prescribed.  

Yes, there are blood tests related to how your nervous system is working.  Haven't you read any of my other posts at all?  I have stated certain labs to have checked if not already done.  

Please try the recommendation of physical therapy.  I am not going to override what a physician has ordered for you and plus you haven't even done what has been prescribed and/or stuck to what he has recommended.  

Do all the physician has recommended and then let me know how things are going.

Once again, it is up to your parents to give the ok for this and that in regards to your medical care being you are a minor.  

RECONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN AND DO WHAT HE HAS PRESCRIBED.  

Best of luck.

I can only suggest things; it is up to your parents to ok consent.  

I am not sure why you don't want to do the physicial therapy if that has been recommended.

The only reason why it think it's serious is I totally forgot about it mOstly for an entire yr and it is still here and way worse I dnt wanna think I'mma psycho cuz my mom thinks I am cuz I'm adopted and my Parents were bipolar but I'm not like tht I'm jus scared if these symptoms weren't here then I would not be satin them but they r and she thinks I'm doing it to myself and my doctor wants me to get physical therapy according to my mom and I didnt wanna do tht it's jus the dizziness feels like the ground is moving but I can walk in a straight line if I try but it's jus the fact tht I have to focus on tht it jus feels like he ground is moving and twitches all over the worst is in my left leg but almost the same in my right I jus can't control them contracting she jus jinks tht cuz I have had so many blood tests and other tests I'm fine the only reason why I keep thinking its something new is cus it's still there and getting worse I mean if it stayed the same or went away and came back I would have a little hope but the face tht it keeps consistently being there and worse bugs me get back to as soon as u can u might think I'm crazy I understand but this is getting out of control I mean can blood tests have anything to do with nerve system at all get back ASAP thanks so much Cameron

No, I don't think this is "pure" anxiety; just simply asked if you have a history of it.  Just don't present yourself before the physician like you sound on the internet because I don't want you to get "labeled" with anxiety being the issue.  I am not saying you can't feel upset and scared, but just make sure you come across to the physician as someone who isn't freaking out and all over the board.  

You made no mention about the physician thought this was a "pinched" nerve and that you were taking meds.  

What meds are you taking?  

I would call your physician to see if you can see him sooner than the 27th.  I am not sure if that is possible or not.  

Given your age, I DOUBT this is something very serious.  

I still advise the above things to be done (in my previous post).

The reason for the recommendation of the MRI of the cervical spine is because abnormalities of the cervical spine CAN cause the symptoms you are describing, even the leg issues.  

Get the Nerve Conduction Studies and the EMG done NOW.  GET TO AN ACTUAL PHYSICIAN ASAP.  

Keep in mind, NO ONE on the internet CAN treat you and we are PURELY speculating what your problem or problems might be.  It is UNFORTUNATE medical care is expensive, but some medical issues are NOT easy to find and you just might have to see numerous physicians to GET AN ANSWER AND HELP.  

You need to stay calm and if you are that anxious and CAN'T calm down, then please have something prescribed for your anxiety.  The anxiety will NOT help matters at all.  

Do you have a history of Anxiety?

ALS at 17?  Doubt that.  This is no ALS in my opinion.

No Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) and No EMG done; correct?

Don't know why you would say you had an EMG when you didn't; that makes no sense.  

No abnormal labs?  

Have you seen a Neurologist?
