Calf Twitching - Need Reassurance

Until now all my twitches have been widespread and mainly single twitches. However, last night in bed my calf started hammering. I jumped out of bed in a state of panic to look at it and it was twitching violently. This lasted for 10 minutes and really freaked me as now I think something is "progressing". I know there are a lot of calf twitchers on here and just wanted some reassurance really.

Thanks

10 minutes, you lucky person, I am very new to this and mine has been going for 7 weeks solid!
Look up a mail from fragglerick which has a link to youtube showing his calf and lots of replies from calf twitchers it helped reassure me.

Calf twitching appears to be the most common spot. My calves are always twitching.

It's just a hotspot, very common with BFS, they are scary but don't let the sudden appearance or reloacation of a twitching area scare you.

Often it has been my experience and the experience of many others on this board these things are temporary lasting from a few minutes to a few weeks sometimes months. Many of us have a seemingly permanent spot or two also.

You sound as if you may have a fixation on the term 'progressive' which you've probably catologed when your heard it used to refer to the progressive muscle wasting and atrophy of MND sufferors. Now it is a standard term which you use to measure your own symptoms and unconsciously try to align yourself to. We all do this in the beginning, and sometimes on ocassion even after having BFS a long time, but it's just part of the normal BFS thing.

Keep in mind, changing, spreading, hotspots, and a few lingering spots are still very consistent with BFS.

Search on the word 'hotspot', you'll see what I mean.

Mine thump like that constantly; 24/7. I really wouldn't worry, as others have said calf twitching is extremely common.
