Yep, I take 30mg of Temazepam nightly since January. Having major insomnia since December. Developed a tremor under my left eyelid when I closed my eye. This was a major cause of insomnia. Temazepam worked well for about 8 weeks but gradually is losing effectiveness (like I thought it would -...

You've gotten some very good advice. After a year of BFS I realized I had a choice. I could continue to suffer incredible anxiety over this benign condition or I could attempt to live the rest of my life productively. I decided wasting a year of my life was enough already. No more Dr.google. No...

BFS is a diagnosis of exclulsion. It's similar to how GI doctors fall back on IBS for digestive issues or some doctors diagnose Fibromyalgia for patients with intense exhaustion and muscle pain/aches.

Yes, I find my left leg tremors after strenuous exercise. Moderate exercise is fine. When I try to push it I almost always get the leg tremor. This is the same side I have finger tremors, check tremor and eyelid tremor. However, my leg tremor only occurs after exercise while my other tremors...

You hit the nail on the head. I have had BFS for 2.5 years and absolutely feel I wasted a year of my life due to the anxiety. The sad part is many of us have had requisite neurological tests, get clean results and still refuse to believe the findings - at least that first year. I also agree that...

I think there may be a link with Vitamin D as well. I have been hypothyroid for years and got pretty sick via a case of Giardia. For several years I had absolutely no energy (even after heavy dosing of Cipro and other antibiotics got rid of the parasite). I got tested for vitamin D and found I...

I'm a new member but have had BFS, tremors and parathesia (pins and needles in hands/feet) for 2.5 years. I've had EMG's, Brain MRI's and a host of other tests to rule out any of the big scary neurological diseases. I just wanted to post a message that you are not alone. There are many long term...
