It's been 8 years since my first onset of BCFS as diagnosed by my neurologist. I went through several world renowned neuros. BCFS is still under control. I did develop Grave's Disease in 2013. I had radioactive iodine. What is surprising is how close BCFS and Grave's disease are to each...

Ok, so in my 11 years no one has died of BCFS that was somehow or lead to ALS or MS. So, all of you chill out. Yeah, I know it's easy for me to say it 11 years aftermy symptoms started. Point....You'll be OK!

Well, anybody!

I don't really remember the last time I was on this board but in 2006 I swore I had bought the farm. 5 Years later...I'm OK. Yes, my BCFS is with me but I can handle it. Klonopin has been my friend since 2006. I have respected it. You will be OK

Hey Basso I see you are still setting people straight. Well, not sexually...but emotionally. I have not been around a while myself but I thought I drop in and see what's going on with all my worry wart friends!. Good to see an old shyt like yourself still kicking it. By the way I don't have...

Of course we do have those sxs. At one point I was sure I had MS. No, just BCFS. I underwent a 3-Tesla MRI to debunk that theory. Do you have an MRI of the brain within a year or two that would indicate even slight demylenation? Try diabetes, being overweight, pinched nerves...just a host...

MarioI like the idea. But oldes should not be charged for logging in. Who wants to post the first freaky BCFS boinking video. Calling BassoZeke

mendotaI hang around but it is true I don' t post very often anymore. You get over it and at some point you need breaks from the worry. These people will be there at a point in the future. They will be free of the worry but the SXS will probably not go away. That sucks but that is BCFS/BFS...

ny21255 years is more than enough to put this past you. I am surprised you are still dwelling on this. The odds of developing a serious illness are very good if you are looking at heart disease, cancer or a lung disease in the USA. However the chances of ALS being one of the illnesses is very...

You caught my own sentiments exactly. Well, that saves me having to think of an insperational post.

12Drifter12 I did not know there was even consideration of a hereditary link.... sorry!

Simon,I would take comfort in the fact that two items of great importance have been eliminated as a concern for ALS.1. First and foremost the clinical exam was normal.2. The EMG was also normal. It does not matter that the specific "Hot-Spot" was not tested.3. You had random twitching which...

We have been here before. No worries.....tongue twitches liek any other muscle. leave it alone and move on would be my suggestion. BTW you know I get tongue cramps? So twitching is much better than what I got. Live on!

Looks like the all clear Noodle! She will do the EMG just to rule out any of the .01% possibility that its the dreaded illness. :LOL: I hope you now know that some of us have been around a while as Basso said and have heard your story several times. Please start living your life with ALS out...

Well your description of your sxs is tightining up. You are being more descriptive. I hate to hear you are suffering and I would be worried. I will leave it to the neuro if I may be so bold to say so. When I first started it was my right leg that was shaky, weak, balance problems, weight...
