All,It has been awhile since I posted, but I would really appreciate some advice and guidance. Since being officially diagnosed with BFS in Spring 2007 (but suffering every anxiety that I could imagine, like many on this board, from the moment twitching started in Dec 2006 to the official EMG...

All,It's been awhile since I posted but I'm lurking a lot. For anyone new on this board, the great people who post here talked me down off the ledge about 18 months ago, and helped me see that I had BFS, and not anything worse. After an early EMG with equivocal results that I me in a high...

I could really use some advice. In addition to the twitching, localized fatigue, etc., which I've had since Dec 2006, I've had some ongoing pain in my fingers. Since Sep 2006, the left pinky and ring finger have had consistent, ongoing dull pain that will occassionally worsen with activity...

While I'm waiting to see the neurology specialist at Penn on Mar 23 (you can find my situation in posts below), I wanted to ask a couple of questions about fasciculations that I'm confused on. I've read "BFS in a Nutshell" several times. - Some things I read say that fasciculations that start...

All, Like many others, I just want to say that this a great forum and has been incredibly helpful to me. Here is what I've been dealing with. I'll do my best to keep it brief: Week after Xmas 2006: Get numbness on left side of face, outside of left arm, and outside of left leg. It is...
