Hello friends!I hope you are all doing well. My last visit here was more than a year ago, but today I just thought that it's about time to visit you once again :) . Being a "long-term-patient" I hope that my reports on my health status will help reassure you and show you that there's nothing to...

Hello together,since my left forearm gave me a nasty hotspot during the last days (it was really annoying) I sort of came up with one question regarding the long-term forecasts of BFS:Is there anybody around who has had his/her twitches for let's say over two years now? If yes - have you noticed...

Hello together!It's been a very long time since i've visited this board the last time. However, right now my old experiences here somehow came up to my mind again - so I just decided to check back. Of course I didn't have the time to catch up on reading all the new posts here, but at the first...

Hello folks,Yes, I know, I haven't been here for quite a while, but issues like studies, work, friends, family etc just needed their time. Still I have not forgotten you, my friends. I owe you a lot, you know. There was a time when I used to sit at my computer the whole day searching for BFS...

Hello folks...Well, you may have noticed that I've taken a break from the board for a couple of months as I managed to accept the fact that I'm not suffering from ALS but have a benign condition - BFS. During the past months I moved on towards pleasant things I hadn't done during my extreme...

Hello fellows,I haven't been here so often during the past 1-2 months as I had a lot to do with work, studies and the usual things like refurbishing our kitchen, bureaucracy stuff (yes, you know, German bureaucracy...). I also spend time doing sports, meeting friends and having fun again...

Hi folks,recently I've been thinking wether it is possible that our muscle twitching actually has its source in the brain itself, not in nerve endings or muscles. Let's take epilepsy for example: The seizures in epilepsy are caused by abnormal brain activity and result in uncontrolled muscle...

Ok here we go. As some of you probably know I have some generic health anxiety apart from the "normal" **S-fears and actually I was getting better with that - until now. It seems that I did something wrong today: I met some friends and somehow we decided to watch an episode of Dr House. For all...

Hello folks,I have a question that's been on my mind for a week now: During weight lifting at the fitness center I have noticed that my right biceps is weaker than the left one. I can lift a certain weight maybe 10-12 times with the left arm, but only 7 times with the right one. The right arm...

Oxytocin lack can cause twitching and related stuff? Hmmm to be honest, that sounds a little far-fetched. I don't think that my doctors would blame my computer- and internet-nerdiness for being responsible for my twitching and all the other delicate and unspecific little symptoms I use to have...

Hello dear BFS-community,I would like to address a topic that is maybe not directly related to BFS and twitching, but this still does bother me a lot and I'm really in need of reassurance now :( I just guess that some of you here have symptoms and experiences beyond BFS its direct issues.Years...

Great. Really great.Folks, I'm afraid I have to ask you for reassurance once more. I've been to the neuro's last Wednesday, he listened to my story, checked my reflexes etc, and told me that I don't have **S (you can read the details in "Returned from the neuro... great relief"). OK, I was quite...

Hello folks!I just had my appointment at the neuro's. It's not ALS... phew. At this point I would like to thank everybody who read my posts and helped me calm down and cheer up a little in the recent time. And of course, thanks to MikePi for maintaining this great discussion platform.For...

Hello community,My family doctor sent me to see a neuro because of my muscle twitching. I'm having my first (and hopefully last...) appointment at the neuro's next Wednesday. After all I have read here and on general medical websites, I assume that he will most probably do an EMG. I had a look...

Hello community,I have a question that might interest some of you. One of my numerous doctors (a cardiologist actually, not a neurologist) said that a lack of potassium might cause muscle twitching. I had a blood analysis done in September 08 (three months before my twitching started) and...

Hello dear community,first of all: Thanks to everybody of you who initiated this project and participate in the forum. I had no idea that so many people suffer from all sorts of fasciculations and are as worried about it as I am. And thank you for the "BFS in a nutshell" thread. It provides...
