Thank you all so much for the replies and for always being there for me in times of need, panic, and in times of wonder and curiosity regarding my symptoms. What an amazing community with great, altruistic, caring and knowledgeable people. I am amazed at the progression you all have helped me...

My only saving grace here is that, despite all of this neck pain and the onset of my BFS that coincided after the rear-end accident in 2010, and despite all of the DR visits and EMG's and Neuro visits, etc., there was a stretch during this 4 year BFS period where I had never been physically...

sorry for the TYPO in the title....I am really really really freaking out about this. Making me think that all of prior symptoms were wrong, my countless EMG's early in the process back in 2011, my brain MRI, etc. Why didn't they recommend a NECK MRI or X-Ray earlier? What if this whole time...

1st of all, long time no talk to all my BFSers! I have been doing pretty good -- as evident by not having posted since July, my longest streak ever. I do have a very serious question though and I hope some veterans can help ease me through my diagnosis. Now that I have great health care and...

Thank you Gracely!!So you TRULY believe that this is nothing more than STRESS causing these symptoms? That makes sense. I shouldn't always related everything to my fear, or that every thing that happens to be is a sign, that it is the start of ALS. This seems to be unrelated to AL*?Thanks...

Hello great community! Question regarding excess saliva:Hey guys, so up until last week I was able to go over a YEAR with a handle on both my BFS and anxiety. I recently posted a thread last week, which was the result of my choking, seemingly out of thin air, on nothing. In hindsight and after...

Thanks again, crazy how anxiety works, huh? So, it has been a battle the past few days. I've related almost everything that has happened to me since as yet another "sign" that this may become the start of you know what. Despite my knowing with near certainty that it would NOT present this...

Thank you for the logical reality check, GuitarStar11.I have to think about this rationally, as what happened the other day could have been caused by any number of things, almost all of which are innocent. I've had these ALS fears for almost 5 years now, and every time I get hit with a new...

Thank you, again, Gracely! You are always full of knowledge. I should just chalk this up to a ‘onetime thing,’ and move on. This, like some many other things that have happened during my anxiety of ALS, is new, and almost certainly unrelated. But due to my anxiety, whenever something new...

What should I do IF this happens again, out of the blue, FREAK OUT?

Nickston,I hope you are right! I've been a mess all day (and all yesterday after it happened). I am hoping that is exactly what happened, although I assumed perhaps I inhaled too much air and began to choke. Either way, I've been a mess and just had a ton of trouble eating my lunch and...

Thank you for the information, as always, Gracely!!So, it sounds like this is NOT the onset of ALS, and that I should just move on (like all of my scares in the past)?Have to admit, my ANXIETY is the highest it has been in OVER A YEAR! Throat hurts, that choking scare, worry of onset ALS...

Gracely, how are you, great to hear from you! :D) I am not sure I ever told you this, but you were one of the key figures here in helping me escape my vast fear or ALS during the zenith of my anxiety. :) So you truly believe that this is NOT related to ALS or onset of anything, as you stated...

Hey guys! Long time no talk. I have a very quick question regarding a scare I had yesterday. I have typically been dealing with new scares by letting them run their course, and the result had been my best year with BFS in my life. But this one, well…..so I was at my desk at work, I stood up...

Bond007, LostLamb and Gracely:Thank you all for the responses! Yes, the office gets cold from time to time, and sometimes I've noticed the cold comes minutes after grabbing an Ice Coffee, for example. It is still kind of scary, but it sounds like it is pretty normal for us BFSers. Raynaud's...
