Hey everyone!I've noticed lately that my arms and legs tend to fall asleep rather quickly. If I'm sitting for say 20 minutes, I get up and my legs and bum feel tingly and weak like they are on the verge of falling asleep. Additionally, say I'm have my arms up using my phone, my arms and hands...

So It's been about a year now that all of this cr*p began. I wouldn't say I twitch 24/7, more like 2/7 which is not too bad. The problem is that I have many other symptoms like pain, buzzing, jelly legs, etc. A big concern of mine right now is my right arm feels a bit heavy, has deep twitching...

Hello everyone,I was just wondering if anyone has had their wisdom teeth taken out and experienced an increase in their symptoms? One of my wisdom teeth is giving me a lot of pain, all the way down my throat. I know I'm going to have to get the little removed, but I am afraid of not only being...

Well, my toes on my right foot are out of control! The middle toe will move side to side for seconds at a time. In addition, the toe next to it and the pinky toe are also moving outwards...like they are spreading out. I just sit there and watch them move and spread on their own, with no visible...

So I've noticed something really strange since I started fearing the three letter disease. Signs of the disease seem to pop up everywhere since I have let the fear of the disease seep into my mind.Some examples are local newspapers that have had at least two stories of local people who were...

Right below your index finger knuckle? I mostly see it when I make a fist. I know this is a very specific question, but I've been really worried about a dent there on my hand. This dent is pretty prominent on my left hand, compared to my right. I've never noticed it before BFS, because I wasn't...

I was just thinking today how many of you have an actual diagnosis of BFS from your Neurologist or doctor? If you did receive a BFS diagnosis, how was it determined (EMG, clincial, bloodwork, etc.)I myself have had symptoms for about 7 months now and don't have a BFS diagnosis. Actually, I don't...

Hello Everyone,Just wondering who would rate the pain they have as their worst issue at the moment? I still twitch and have a lot of other issues, but the pain is what is really getting to me at the moment.My pain is mainly on the right side of my body. My right shoulder down to my fingers, my...

Before all of this bfs stuff began, I would have cracking joints very mildly. Now it seems like my joints are always cracking all day. I walk down stairs and all I hear is the crick cracking of my ankles, knees, etc. I also have this thing that happens to my chest/breastbone area. Sometimes if I...

For anyone that has had symptoms for more than 6 months, did you notice your symptoms getting worse as time passed? At 5 1/2 months in, my symptoms have only gotten worse. I didn't have much pain to begin with, but now it is out of control.Also, I may have experienced a calf cramp yesterday for...

My understanding is that a hotspot is a twitch in a particular part of the body like a calf, arch, etc. My question is, can an entire limb be a hotspot? For instance, my right arm that is very painful has been twitching more than ever. I never really twitched on my arms, but now the twitches...

I'm only 5 months into my symptom journey. I call it that because I have never been diagnosed with bfs, let alone anything else. I went to see the neurologist about 3 weeks after my symptoms began. I primarily went in with my fear of MS, because I had a lot of sensory issues at the time. While I...

I'm in a bad place right now, I just can't seem to slay this als fear. When I think I am doing better mentally, something happens to kick my @ss back into the fear zone.I was walking normally when my knee suddenly gave out. Great, this has never happened since this bfs nightmare began. Now I'm...

A random thing happened to me last night while I was laying in bed going to sleep. I wasn't dozing off to sleep yet, I had just got into bed 5 minutes prior.I got this warm fuzzy feeling in my brain, accompanied by an electrical jolt feeling which made my whole body tingle and feel warm. This...

Hello all!I was just wondering how you found this website?I came across it when I googled my symptoms and started lurking on the @ls boards. I wouldn't post and ask questions, just read. I found a lot of posts by people asking if they had the disease because they were twitching. The kind members...

I don't know if I'm more accident prone now, or if it's bfs that is causing me to hurt myself more easily.A couple of days ago I was walking down the street and my ankle bent down ( you know like when it bends to the side and you almost fall.) Well since then my whole foot and ankle have been in...

I've seen this mentioned a couple of times and wondered why it was relevant to BFS or any other disease for that matter. I was going through my paperwork and came across my levels, which are close to the lowest level in the range.Does anyone know what significance, if any, this has?Thank you

I am finding it so hard to overcome all of these horrible symptoms I have. Sometimes I feel like I am strong enough to just keep going and move on with my life. Then weird stuff starts happening to my body and I just can't take the mental anguish of it all.My right arm is really twitchy and...

So lately I've been very aware of my food going down my pipe. It feels like it is scraping my chest as it goes down (hope that makes sense.) It is actually painful sometimes...and I do chew my food thoroughly, in case you wonder. Thisin addition to a couple of times I choked on my saliva...
