Hello all. Hope you are coping well. Today it was confirmed that a coworker's husband has ALS. I am so profoundly sad for both of them and wish there was a way to help. Sadly, we all know there is little that can be done. For most of us here, that diagnosis is/was our biggest fear. So why is...

Hello all! I am an old-timer. Came here 3 years ago in a complete panic (sound familiar?) Over the years I have had relapses of panic over all kinds of crazy symptoms. Going to the doctor and exercise injuries are huge triggers for me. Realistically, though, I am no worse off now than I was back...

It is an article about ALS, which doesn't exactly pertain to us, but I know many of us have/have had a real fear of the disease. Good to see a cure is still being sought.Take care all.Becky

I pray that means a cure is on the horizon. We'd all have to find something new to worry about :LOL:

I have been feeling something like a groin pull for quite some time, maybe months. Recently, I went to the chiropractor about it. The pull is on my right inner thigh. Is this spasticity?? It hurts if I sit "Indian style." It just won't stretch out and be comfortable. That coupled with the...

Hi everyone! Two and a half years and I can still get scared by this :D) I've been to the chiropractor for the past few days. My hip is bothering me. Husband swears by chiro. Anyway--after much strength testing he declared that my left shoulder is a little weaker than my right. He asked me if I...

I haven't had such a long-lasting hand twitch in a while. I need someone to talk me off the ledge. My right thumb is tapping like it's hitting an imaginary space bar non-stop today. It is very disturbing. I am freaking out. It is especially bad if I tap my fingers. Is this Hoffmann's...

Hello BFSers! It's been a while. Hope everyone is well.Here's the situation: A friend of a friend has just recently started with BFS symptoms. She has been to multiple doctors who tell her it is benign, but can't get out of the funk she is in (can we relate to that or what?!) Anyway, what I am...

Has anyone read this?

I'm kind of celebrating because it's been 1 year since I noticed my first twitch. It was probably a month after that when the panic set in and stayed with me for a few months. Back then, I couldn't have imagined writing this. I figured I would either be dead, or so badly debilitated that I would...

I went to visit my dad today in the hospital. He had a collapsed lung and has to be there for a few days. While I was talking with him I noticed his arm thumping away. Really noticably twitching. I looked at his other arm and it had little twitches too. I asked my dad if it always does that. He...

I'm feeling very positive today. Healthy, strong,and happy. When this all started, I never thought I would feel this way again (or make it to my 37th birthday without being seriously disabled.) I'm going to celebrate my birthday by wrapping Christmas gifts with my perfectly functional hands...

From the board? The board was down for a few days, which I'm sure must have caused some panic in the new and that not-so-new. How did you cope with not having the BFS board? I checked on it whenever I thought of it, but was not the least upset. Interesting, since the last time the board was down...

Does this happen to anyone else? Sometimes if I sit with my legs crossed, by foot will jerk upward slightly. It happens especially if I am experiencing a lot of twitching in my feet (which I usually am.) It reminds me of a myoclonic jerk (like falling asleep) but I'm awake naturally. I think...

I haven't read this one yet, but I love his books--The Tipping Point and Outliers. I'll be sure to check this one out, thank you.

2009January: feet and hands feel like they are falling asleep all the time. eye twitch starts. whole body explodes into twitching. migrating pain everywhere.Convinced it is nothing more than a vitamin deficiency. Have blood work done. WBC and platelets are low. Panic sets in. Convinced I have...

Not clinically weak! Just too wimpy for my newest workout!Probably not a nice way to start a post. You were probably worried about me for a second there, right?When BFS started for me 8 months ago, my whole life stopped, including my regular workouts. This summer, I began jogging and lifting...

Love it!!

Hi everyone. I haven't been posting as much lately, which was a positive thing. However, for the past week or two, my feet have been going crazy. I have a constant tingling in my feet, almost as if they have just woken up from falling asleep. I can see and feel tiny little twitches all over the...

I was just wondering if anyone has had an epidural or spinal block on the board. This may only apply to the women who have given birth. I don't know if these are used for other procedures or not. My first delivery was an emergency C with an epidural. My second was planned and I had a spinal...
