Hi Tobes, for me your first post was very clear. So I can't imagine that you did any harm with it.But anyway... I'm so glad for you it turned out to be okay, that's the most important thing.Thanks for sharing it with us.

Hey Tobes, that must have been a real horror ride for you, oh man.... I'm so happy for you that it turned out ok in the end. Can't wait to read the next part, you really have a writing talent.(I bet you can sell this story to Hollywood ;) )

I just realize that 2 years ago my symptoms set in. I am so glad I found this site and I want to thank everyone on this board for helping each other. My symptoms have subsided considerably. I still have flare ups and I think I allways will but it doesn't bother me anymore. Although I don't visit...

Hi Olimpio, I had all your throat symptoms for a couple of weeks. It's not bulbar, you will be fine.

I had similar throat/tongue and saliva production issues for several weeks.Don't worry about it, in time they will dissapear (and probably another symptom will pop up)

Hey LevenLevi, good to hear from you again and thanks for your update.

I remember I had my first hotspot in my painful arm and I freaked out as well. But this is what bfs is about.After a few days your hotspot will be gone and you will get another one. Don't worry, you will be fine.

Hi Joanna, welcome on board. Your story is typical bfs and is common for many people here.For several months everyday was a big surprise for me, like a crazy bfs circus touring around in my body.Although it's annoying, frustrating stay positive and believe us if we say it's just benign.

Sometimes I can induce twitching by tapping, poking or stretching. Nothing to worry about.

I have had acupuncture treatments, not for the twitching but for my pain issues. It has not taken away my issues but they have been reduced. So for me I can say accupuncture did help me.Note that as a reaction of your body accupuncture itself can also cause twitching!

Yes, that is common with bfs, if you search this site on this topic you will find lots of results.

Hi Jay, in my opinion this is completely related to bfs, so I shouldn't worry too much (I always say that to you :p )In the beginning this was one of the many symptoms that was on my big list.When lying on my bed my arms began to sleep directly. And every night I woke up with tingling and...

For me pain and sensory issues were always much more present than twitching.I had it for many months, but in time the worst symptoms subsided and it went better with me although I still have flare ups. (I think I always will but it's just bfs) Try to stay positive and trust me that in time you...

I had this symptom too for a few weeks. The feeling that you just burned your tongue with some hot tea. Very annoying but nothing to worry about.

Your symptoms are very familiar to many people on this board and are very much related to bfs.Hang on, you will be fine.

What a story was that, oh my.... good to hear you are doing well these days.

Heey Jay, it's good to hear from you again. All your current symptoms sounds so familiar to me. I also have some bad days now and then with flare ups but overall it is much better than last year.In general I'm around 70/80% which is acceptable for me as I know where I came from. And who knows...

Hi Nick, mistyping, dropping things is a common thing around here. Because our condition we pay much more attention to our bodies than before so we notice almost everything which can be called an 'obsession'. Don't focus on it and it will slowly fade away. Goodluck.

I had some severe (muscle) fatigue in both my arms/hands when it all started for me. Besides a bucket full of other symptoms fatigue was a big issue for me at that time and it certainly affected my life. I experienced fatigue with everyday things such as holding a phone, drying myself with a...

Be sure to get an answer to all your questions (at the time I wrote all my questions on paper so I wouldn't forget any).And for your reassurance you can ask the neuro to perform some basic strength/reflex tests.Wish you all the best tomorrow....
