Twitching Increases When Relaxed?

Is it just me or do many of you notice your twitching gets worse when you are relaxed? I swear that I can walk around the house, walk outside and sweep the patio - do all sorts of things and not feel a single twitch (and it's not that I don't notice them - believe me, I'm so hypervigilant that I would notice them if I got them even while active) but the moment I sit down and relax, they seem to start. Especially at night before going to bed or before having a nap in the daytime or sitting down to relax and watch tv.

I didn't have one twitch from 6 PM to 8 PM tonight - I was fairly active but then I sat down at the table at 8 PM to write out some notes and immediately - my chin started to twitch.

I do get twitches when I'm doing things but not nearly as many as when I'm really relaxed. Is this just part of the nature of BFS? Maybe some of the "old timers" on the forum may know the answer to this...

Thanks and God Bless,

Bfs twitches happen when the muscle is relaxed.. like sitting down,, your calves and feet go crazy....it is tottally normal what your feeling... when up and active the twitched seem to diapate,,, but relaxed they tend to get you .. tha is a good thing,,, its a sign that your twitches and syndrome is completely benign..


hope this helps

Hi mark,

Yeah I notice mine more when I am relaxing as well.

Thanks for the info, Aaron - it is most reassuring and I'm glad this is a good thing. Thanks also Sharon for your reply.

God Bless, Mark

You're absolutely right. Anytime I exercise, I don't feel them at all or when I am walking. The issue I am starting to have is soreness/cramps all over which doesn't help the exercise routine.

Keep active!

My calf goes 24/7 but other twitches are only noticeable when relaxing, my neuro described these as benign.

I personally don't think the twitching is worse when relaxed, I just think when we are not relaxed, we are not focused on them. I pretty much only notice my twitches when laying in bed. I know I have them during the day, but mny mind is on so many other things I don't notice them.

I never feel any twitches when active. Always feel them right after and especially seem more sensitive to them first thing in the morning.
Take care

Thanks so much again for the replies - I've really been noticing the twitches when relaxed lately. Much more so than when active. I don't think it's because I'm noticing them more when relaxed - they really do seem to pick up at bedtime and in the morning when waking.

Thanks and God Bless, Mark
