Hi everyone:I was wondering if anyone's neuro has mentioned arachnoiditis? If so, would arachnoiditis not be considered if you have sensations and twitching in the upper extremeties? Arachnoiditis symptoms are quite similar to a lot of BFSers' onset symptoms, so I am wondering if they are...

I was wondering if you wouldn't mind asking two questions that would benefit all of us? If you are scheduled, please pm me. Thanks everyone, happy twitching :)

If so, did they follow different protocols for general anesthesia? Did you have any complications? Was your anesthesiologist made aware of your BFS? Any experience/info would be greatly appreciated. :)

Hi everyone! I haven't been on this board in a long time! I am a nine-year twitcher. Anyway, I would like to know if anyone has undergone surgery with BFS, and if so, were there any complications or other protocols followed? My GP scared me the other day by saying that I am not a canidate for...

Hi everyone. I use to post to the board quite often, but took a little break. Now I'm back and scared out of my mind. The fear of ALS was short lived in my case. I saw a few neuros at Mayo- whom I trusted when they said.. "I could tell when you walked through the door that you didn't have...

For those of you who suffer from the cramping part- are these induced cramps or do they just come out of the blue or are they there all the time? Could you please describe? Thanks!

Hello,Thought I might put this out there. Many newbies come to this board before they are seen by a neurologist. This being the case, many are very, very worried that they may have ALS or MS. Understandable! But most are unaware of the ongoing question many of us "oldies" have linger after...

Hi! I was wondering if someone could help me?? For the last 4 months, I have be very aware of my breathing. It seems that I am SOB, but I'm not sure??? When I walk I feel fine, almost better than when I bend over to pick things up, raise my arms to dress or wash hair, or little chores like...

After I read this article, I went back and replaced the word Fibromyalgia with BFS. It's like an article written about BFS EXCEPT Pfizer hasn't produced a "miracle" drug for us! Thought I'd share.

I thought this article was interesting because I was seen by Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL a year after this guy was seen- probably by some of the same neuros. Goaltender has new perspective on life Web posted Saturday, November 1, 2003By Rob Mueller | Staff Writer Hockey has been Jeff...

I was wondering if anyone has ever had to wear a Holter Monitor, and if so, what type of information does it give the doctor? I'm having heart palpitations and she actually caught one yesterday by feeling my pulse. The EKG looked normal. I'm scared out of my mind. I'm scheduled for an...

Hi everyone, I am having a horrible time with what I think is Lexapro "withdrawal". I've posted a little on this subject, but I was wondering if anyone had nasty withdrawal symptoms when coming off an SSRI drug. Over the years I have been on either Zoloft or Lexapro and actually have quit...

Hi guys & girls, I was wondering if any of you have experienced the following: Heart flutters- I describe them as really fast- feeling of a whoopi cushion being deflated :oops: Heart skips- feels like the heart has skipped a beat. Get slow and beats one time really hard. This has been...

SOMEBODY ROLL BACK BASSO'S POST-DOMETER!!! Basso- You can't just leave the Basso Findings Syndrome board! How would we find our inner Basso then????

I was wondering if anyone knew... Can hypothyroidism have a slow onset? I'm talking years? And is all thyroid problems autoimmune? Thanks!

OK, OK, OK... I'm the paraneoplastic syndrome phobic! :oops: I'm embarrassed! I've mentioned it to my regular GP, and she said almost exactly what you said Dave. That these people are SEVERE in their symptoms. Can't walk, or they can't lift their arm, dragging around basically- or worse...

Hi JC. I'm no LisaLM- Lord knows she's a blessing. But I can relay what an MS Specialist at Mayo told me.... MS can be sneaky, but most of the time your symptoms spell out Multiple Sclerosis to a neurologist. When a person presents with twitching it's NOT the twitching that makes the doc...

Hi Terri! Not a silly question at all. It is called Slo Mag and is available OTC. Unless they have changed the packaging- it's comes in a blue and white BOX with an orange dot. Not always easy to find- but it's there. Take care. P.S. It's also good for heart palps.

A little on this subject... In my Google days, I believe I read that serotonin was found mostly in the gut- where the SSRI/depression commericals would have you think that it was mainly found in the brain. Maybe this is a component to your intestine "food for thought". Hee hee THAT IS A...

As LisaLM says... IMHO, if I were you I wouldn't focus on a single twitch, ache, buzz, burn, etc... I'd get the hell off this board and wouldn't give my mind the chance to get "caught up" in this. You're capable on remission- how AWESOME is that??????? Take care.
