Forgot to mention my latest weird symptom. My right foot has a mind of it's own. At first I thought it was just some kind of spasm, but I'm starting to think my dystonia has spread to my right foot. About 3 months ago I got in my car to drive to work and my right foot turned completely sideways in my clog and I couldn't straighten it so that I could drive. I kept trying to put it back in my shoe flat so I could drive but it wouldn't stay. Finally, after about 5 minutes it relaxed and I was able get it in my shoe and drive. Then it happened a couple more times. Then this last week it happned twice the first time I was sitting in my recliner with my feet up and I watched as my right foot was pulled completely over toward my left leg. If I had gotten up to try and walk I would have had to walk on the outside edge of my right foot. When this happens there is no cramping, but there is a lot of pulling on the muscle on the outside of my calf. Very weird. This was on about Wednesday in the early evening and then on Friday night I woke and got up to go to the bathroom and then got back into bed and was still awake when it happened again. Very bizzare. I have dystonia in my right hand and have had it there for about 12 years and I also have cervical dystonia in my neck and shoulder muscles. My neurologist says that it is caused by demylination of the basal ganglia section of the brain. Very bizzare.

This same thing is what happens to me when I have a flare up. I get this sort of thing over my whole body when it gets bad. Sometimes it lasts for a few minutes and sometimes it can go on for days. Hope yours doesn't last long.
