Hello friends!I hope you are all doing well. My last visit here was more than a year ago, but today I just thought that it's about time to visit you once again :) . Being a "long-term-patient" I hope that my reports on my health status will help reassure you and show you that there's nothing to...

Yep, I guess my interpretation changed too after all my fears of ALS & co stopped. By now I only notice twitches in eyelids, large muscles or annoying hotspots. But well, the hotspots come and go, so what's the deal... The eyelid twitchery is a bit annoying however because I sometimes tend to...

Hello together,since my left forearm gave me a nasty hotspot during the last days (it was really annoying) I sort of came up with one question regarding the long-term forecasts of BFS:Is there anybody around who has had his/her twitches for let's say over two years now? If yes - have you noticed...

Jeffrey, I second on that :)I had a nasty hotspot today, somewhere in my left arm. So what? It twitched for a while and was gone, like it happens to all hotspots. I've been twitching for somewhat over two years now, too - and guess what? I'm feeling fine, nothing has changed. In my case I can't...

When I was at the neuro's, I brought all sorts of blood analysis results and stuff with me and spread all of them on his table, letting some of them fall on the floor because my hands were trembling with fear -.-

Soo, I'm back from the psychiatrist. He recommended a therapy to get rid of health anxiety in general, however his schedule is full and thus he gave me the number of a local psychological center where they have lists of available therapists. In general, the way to go is a so-called "behavior...

I had three or four cramps during the last two years, especially during the hot summer time. I guess that's because of the sweating, drinking too much beer during the soccer championship and the resulting lack of electrolytes. Cramps and twitches do not HAVE to be related by the way, these can...

Valerian root: FKlosterfrau Melissegeist (German herbal meds) : FMagnesium: FMetoprolol Tartrate 25mg: FJust to catch up on the discussion regarding Metoprolol: I actually got it prescribed by my cardiologist because my blood pressure and my pulse were a little to high. I've taken the med for...

I've been twitching for over two years know and still haven't detected any pattern. It does not seem to depend of illnesses, stress levels, sports, food/caffeine/alcohol or anything else. There are days when it's more frequent and days when it's less frequent. My main area are calves and thighs...

Yep - **S is not a disease that goes undetected for years. I didn't even have an EMG - no way I'm going to make them stick needles in my legs just because I'm scared. I guess I'm more scared of needles than of **S, lol. But nevertheless I believed my neuro. Let me briefly show you the dialog...

Hello together!It's been a very long time since i've visited this board the last time. However, right now my old experiences here somehow came up to my mind again - so I just decided to check back. Of course I didn't have the time to catch up on reading all the new posts here, but at the first...

Hello again and thank you for your replies.How are things going on in your cases? Simon, according to your signature looks live you've been having BFS for over year now. As you can see, you can perfectly get along with it IF you stop thinking about your condition, the symptoms and terrible...

Hello folks,Yes, I know, I haven't been here for quite a while, but issues like studies, work, friends, family etc just needed their time. Still I have not forgotten you, my friends. I owe you a lot, you know. There was a time when I used to sit at my computer the whole day searching for BFS...

I totally agree with Highpriority. Twitches aren't just twitches - your own perception of these twitches is crucial. I noticed that I usually feel them when I'm sitting around and doing nothing or lying in bed, just because I don't have anything that distracts me. And now, after eight months, I...

Thank you for your answers :)Dizzyness in the morning often means a little bit low blood pressure - in that case it is recommended to get out of bed very very slowly... first sit in bed for a while, then stand up slowly. If you jump out, your blood moves from the head down to the legs, and if...
