Hello everyoneYou all like "old timers" (am I that already ?) saying Hi so here I am ! (again).I won't repeat the clinical story, its the same as yours...absolutely.I will say I get palpitations as a reflex response when the "about community" splash screen comes up, which says a lot, even though...

Hi to all.An "old timer" here for my annual visit !Same posts I see, just different posters.You are all feeding your anxiety neuroses by coming here. I did the same thing for months. Drove me half mad.I am still well, stronger than ever in fact. I twitch. You twitch. You're fine. Get on with...

Hello everyone !Same topics, different posters.. plus ca change !This ALS thing tore me apart in 2008, and you know what ? Seeing these familiar webpages is giving me palpitations again. A learned response I guess.I remember how I used to scour these pages looking for "good" posts. I would copy...

Hi everyone.Did anybody notice if they got sudden onset of lots of floaters when their BFS started ? I did - within 1 week I had the full house - floaters, widespread twitches, lowgrade fever, nausea, slight dizziness, fatigue, etc..If you're going to google your life away with this BFS thing...

Hi GuysI promised to check in and here I am.Still twitching.Still well, if a bit tired.To those new twitchers I would say this. It will take many months for you to believe you are OK, but you WILL get there. You can only stay worried for so long, eventually the reality that you are not getting...

In case anyone was wondering.... (As if - I know what you're like ;) )I'm fine. 8 months in. Still twitching - in fact possibly a little bit worse, but I'm pretty much over the worry.So, for newbies - this dreadful fear DOES go away. You just can't stay that worried forever - somehow it burns...

I guess most of us got our *** paranoia from the internet. Well, if you are a bit more objective about things, you'll find if you search twitching, there are so many more CFS related links than *** ones, and their stories fit much better with most of ours than the poor souls with *** do. Also...

Does anyone else experience worsening of localised twitching after an injury ?I had a small (sterile) needlestick injury in my left hand, and then for about 3 weeks had a near constant twitch, a really fine threadlike one, which has now disappeared some weeks ago, exactly at the place of the...

To those of you who do regular sports/exercise.My calves and lower quads twitch a lot. I used to do bike racing till last year but have done nothing for 12 months (not because of BFS).I went out for an hour last week and this sent my calves crazy. For about 12 hours they were a couple of bags of...

Came across this article by accident and it reminded me how my own muscle twitching (or rather my psych. response to it) took over my life for 18 months in 2008. 9 years ago. No better, no worse, but happy and not dying of ALS.

How long before you really stopped thinking you had something more serious than BFS ?I was certainly dying between 2-4 weeks. Unable evn to think rationally about seeing a Neuro.This Sunday will be 4 months.I am still well.. physically.Mentally, it depends. On average I would say I'm about 80%...

The "survey" on this site supports what is often said to be a possible cause of BFS, namely a viral infection which triggers or directly causes some sort of neuromuscular upset (PNHE, call it what you will) resulting in twitching.There are a handful of other medically inexplicable illnesses...

Hi there.Twitching doc here again ! (Not a neuro)To summarise - 3 months twitching, very typical BFS type story - widespread onset over 4 days now mostly calves 24/7 with random hits nearly everywhere that can twitch. Remain strong and well. I did have a bug of some sort too - with a lowgrade...

As if they will be new to any of you !I've been twitching for 8 weeks. Started one morning in my left triceps while in the bath, just one or two whole muscle contractions. Over the next 3-4 days I had many more, many times each day, in widespread areas, but it is now mostly symettrical, calves...
