I just googled the MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DEATH it gives nationalities , ages, etc. NO WHERE IS ALS mentioned. Therefore people that twitch with BFS have NO MORE chances of getting ALS then the person sitting across from you or down the hall from you right now take in these statistics they are FAR...

Do I worry of that...NO why because I do it every day. You my friend did as I have and I am no exception you have filled your mind with a bunch of b.s that most lay people cannot decipher and do not understand. My best advice to you is get your mind right, anxiety undercontrol, and seek help for...

Laurent is right- Wright is a very smart person and he echo'd what my neuro told me. They had CLEAN EMGs due to UMN signs not LMN once you twitch its LMN signs :sick: Lovely

Meant to post as well- do any of you ever feel like your spine is tingling or around the spine is tingling on the surface. Not within. It almost feels like someone dropped water down the top of my spine and it rolled down to my hiney. Its weird probably one of the weirdest feelings . I...

Hey again everyone, I noticed that feet seem to be a big issue lately as there are a lot of foot twitchers. MY feet particular mostly buzz if anything at all. I was just curious to know how many people don't have hot spots and have what I just call popcorn twitches are "hit n runs". Every once...

Laurent, Your ok..I Promise. The foot and legs are the most common. Fredrick, As mentioned above you and I have the same twitches- Mine are BARELY Seen ever unless I get the big thumpers most of mine are so quick POPS by the time I get my leg or foot or arms up to see it their gone. MY neuro...

K2626, Perhaps tri a anti anxiety medication or a sleep aid to help you sleep. If you go to bed with the thoughts of "Im going to twitch" after I lay down then naturally its like your body awaits it. I take my anti anxiety med before bed and after a few twitches here and there I Dont feel a...

Fredrick, Random twitches as you describe are POSTER TWITCHES For BFS! However, w/out scaring anyone you can have very localized twitches as some do here and still not have ALS. I myself do not really get hotspots for more than a few minutes. I can always cease the twitching by flexing or moving...

als is not a early stage migrtory disease...sounds like carpal tunnel and bfs to me!

I agree with the previous posters- it can happen from excessive exercise as well as being very athletic then stopping abruptly. However I agree with Laurent- 5-6 hours a week is not excessive. Its great and good exercise for the body, mind and soul but when I did weight training I spent 28 hours...

Newbies and those that lurk, I have time today to spend on here and I am confident and have felt better than ever lately. So I thought for the newbies and people that lurk I would post my story for you. Its long- but if you were/are as anxious as I was when I first came to this sight. I was so...

Careful if you bring your lap top to distract you as you might start googling dreaded symptoms lol! I take klonapin especially on plane rides and it definately helps me to relax , klonapin makes most people extremely tired so if your the one doing the driving, maybe not indulge in that lol-...

If I was you, I would just search through threads. Read bfs in a nutshell. It will answer alot of your questions. BFS is different for everyone and to just give you some basic imput would be rather hard. I would just ask some general questions and then we can reply with some answers.For...

FreddieTheFox, is it your non dominant side that is what you think different? How about today measure your legs arms etc. compare again in two weeks. I was told and read that Atrophy 20% versus weakness 80%. Meaning the least bit of atrophy- brings a lot more weakness.Lovely

Great post :) Most people will view this thread because of the name. However...I did the same BUT I knew Cap H wouldn't do me in like that so I clicked. However most people on this site dont want to see positive posts for some reason. They like the negative posts. Anyways, that is sooo true...
