Twitching Worse During Massage with BFS

Something I've noticed with BFS...

First of all, most of you know I'm a massage therapist. But, since I've had BFS, I haven't had much massage (or if I do, it's in the context of interviewing people for jobs so it's different).

Anyway, I was all excited the other night because I was getting an 1-1/2 hr massage from a friend of mine. Guess what 1) twitching got worse during the massage but better later 2) the deeper the massage, the less I liked it (VERY strange for me because I normally like really deep work) 3) it just didn't feel as good as it used to

I think because our muscles and nerves are so overtaxed from twitching that the excess stimulation of a deep massage can, in my case anyway, make it worse. A relaxation massage seems to work best for me now but even that amount of stimulation can be too much. In fact, if I wear tight boots up my calves, it aggravates the nerves there. Sometimes even my clothes rubbing against them can be annoying. Weird.

Yes...practically none now. Maybe .5 once every 2 weeks

for the last month and a half or so, i went to chiro more and was getting deep tissue massages as well. the almost painful kind for 30 minutes at a time. during this period seems my fasciculations actually got worse.

i have been wondring if all the nerve pushing from massage and overadjustments of chiro may have had something to do with this in my quest to find a reason.

something i plan to mention to the Neuro today at 1:30.
