Hey All, I have been worrying a lot lately about my symptoms. Yesterday I called my neurologist and asked him about my EMG. He said nothing indicates *** at all, but if I want he would give me the number of a neuro who dealt with *** a lot more than him. I accepted, and now have an...

Hey All, I was doing a bad thing today. I was googling symptoms as I have been worrying for the last two weeks or so about my symptoms. But, I found some reassuring information that I don’t thing anyone has ever posted on the site. It supports what everyone has said about EMGs. The fact...

Hey All, I have been doing pretty good with the worrying over the past couple of weeks, but today I am worrying alot. My right leg and arm feel very weak today. My muscles are twitching alot and when I walk I feel very off balance. I am staring at my hand again, and am worried about the...

Hey Shelley, My shins also twitch. Don't worry about the shins, you are not alone. Tony[/u]

Thanks Shelly, It is just so hard to stop worrying. I just want a definitive answer that I don't have ***. Tony

Nice pics...not sure what they mean though.

Hey Guys, The last couple of days for me have been bad. I feel as if my right hand is developing atrophy, my hand is very achy and my fingers are twitching alot. It has been two weeks since my EMG and my symptoms have gotten worse since then. If my symptoms were due to ***, wouldn't the EMG...

Hey All, I am sorry that I am worrying again…but I am, and can’t help it. I am going to my GP on Friday again to talk about my meds, and I am going to ask him about this new found atrophy I think I found. I haven’t spoken to him since my EMG, so we can discuss that as well. I think I am...

How many people on the board smoke? Do you think that smoking could be related to increased symptoms of BFS? I think that in my case, smoking may have contributed to some of my symptoms.

Well Guys…today is the big day. My EMG. I am extremely nervous right now, and many thoughts are running through my mind. I went to the gym last night, ran two miles, did some push-ups and sit-ups…just to get my mind thinking that I was okay. I prayed last night and am hoping all goes well...

Tomorrow I have my EMG at 3:30. I am getting pretty nervous, and I am sure I won’t be able to sleep tonight. I got the results of my chest x-ray that I had done last week and everything was fine. I have yet to get my blood work results back from my GP…but should hear something soon. I am...

Today marks two months since all of my symptoms started. I have been to my GP about 4 times, and the neuro once. I am awaiting an EMG next Thursday. Both doctors say no ***. I am having a hard time trusting them as my symptoms are still persistent. The most bothersome is the weakness in my...

Anyone with any other input?

Hey Guys, I am posting again today…as I think it is sort of a therapy for me. I am having a bad day worrying about doubting my neuro’s opinion that I have BFS. I think the thing that is bothering me the most is the fear that my EMG will show something he missed. I know you all think I am...

Tomorrow is my neuro appointment at 1 PM. I am getting pretty nervous about it. I still haven’t received my bloodwork results from my GP. I called them yesterday and spoke to the office assistant. She said my results are in my GP’s office, but he wants to call me and talk about them. He...

I have searched a long time to find out what clonus is. Here is what I have come up with. Basically, if you would push your foot up toward your knee, and hold it for a couple seconds, and then let go....clonus would be when your ankle continues to move up and down after letting go. Is that...

Hey All, Two more days until I see the neuro for my consultation. I am still stressing out about the whole situation, and haven’t heard back from my GP about my blood work that I had done over a week ago. My arm still feels weak, but am trying to forget about it. It is hard though. I admit I...

Hey all, Friday is my neuro appointment. I am still worried about my hand "atrophy", that many have disproved, since I have been made aware that atrophy is the result of muscles not functioning properly. If it was *** it would be profound weakness, twitching, then atrophy. I still strength...

Good Morning all, I am still worrying. Today I was carrying my luggage to my rental car and my right arm felt so weak. I noticed today though that when I turn my neck to my left, it is very tight and sends a pain down to my shoulder area. Maybe it is just tension from stress, but it is a new...
