brownale just reading you brief story its obvious that you have a history of anxiety problems. With regards to you Aids worries, well it shows you definately didnt have it or you will either be dead or very ill by now. The breathing difficulties and chest pain could very easily be down to GERD...

ive had some strange sensory symptoms (water trickling down the back of my legs) but not had any pins or needles or numbness.

Guest...can't help you there. Most of us here have been to a Neuro & have been diagnosed with BFS. Have you checked out some PD BB's? Good luck to you. Dale

barbo it could be related to quite a lot of possibilities and not all of them mean its of a neurological nature. For instance, when was the last time you went to the Dentist to have you teeth/gums checked? Also pains in the jaw/neck are can be related to tension, do you grind your teeth a...

I get vibrations in various places from my ribcage to my hips. It lasts only a couple of seconds. The first time it happened I thought it was my mobile phone receiving a message in my pocket, then I realised I didn't have my phone with me.. I've been having "nose vibrations" on and off for a...

Did this person just pick this site at random or what? I'd say more like Troll Jr. until they reach puberty!

yeah same here, any kind of exercise triggers the twitching off. Few month ago I went round my mates house and dig some weight lifting, didnt even do that much...the next day my left bicep was getting some evil twitches.

Question for the group: Does anyone have any reason to believe that there may be a connection between BFS and autoimmune disorders, e.g., lupus or rheumatoid arthritis? Does anyone at this site have both BFS and an autoimmune disorder, and has a doctor ever suggested a relationship? Annie

Sometimes I stumble across a forum on the net and has posts from various people over the years. Take a look at this one In a way they are describing so many of the symptoms I suffer from, and nobody seems to be able to get answers on what the cause is. I think these days I can almost write...

Along with the above listed I have developed tremors some itching and the creepy crawlers and on and off ringing in the ears. I guess I will learn more Monday, however, any insight would be appreciated.

hotrod...do a little research into what a twitching eyelid is a symptom of ;) ill give you a clue...its not a symptom of BFS or ALS Chill out

yes, it could be positional, but I have had that a lot. It was worse when this first started. It's not that bad anymore. Good luck, Gary

Yeah ive also had this from time to time, again you are pointing towards signs of stress and anxiety which can make Acid Reflux a lot worse. I take Lansoprazole to control mine, works great ;)

BillBob is right and I should have clarified that a little more in my first post. Not all BFS twitches are ture fasciculations, but some are. In ALS, what they are looking for are true fasciculations, not thumpers and random twitches that are associated with the kind of twitches that don't...

Len, I too have the internal vibrations, I think it is just part of the deal for some of us. As for als after three years, it is always possible, but it wouldn't have any thing to do with the BFS (IMHO), just a random occurence. Don't worry about als. Good luck, Gary

Yes if I move a muscle it might twitch for a bit then stop. Not always but alot. In the morning I can wake up to peace. Then I begin to move abit and bamm, twitch here, then there, then I just start to ignore em.

congrats on getting your diagnosis twitchlots now you can concentrate on getting better :)

Well its not about what id attribute to Anxiety as I dont know your full story inside and out. But becuase in your brief post here you have dscribed symptoms that are generally associated with Anxiety it makes me wonder what else you are suffering from could be caused by Anxiety.

I have posted only a few times...I have lots of the classic BFS symptoms. I have been twitching for almost three months now (no weakness), had a clean physical, good bloodwork (except high cholesterol). After taking a Statin drug for almost 6 weeks, I started twitching (caused by Statin drug...

yep DWL has it right on the money...I also have this symptom you are talking about its called perceived weakness, its very common in BFS. As DWL said Clinical weakness would start as dropping things and generally loosing your grip on things or if in your legs you would develop a limp. Your...
