Hi all, for the last 2 weeks I have a lot of saliva production. After swallowing my mouth runs immediately full again, it feels like my mouth is being filled with some kind of liquid over and over again. Because of this swallowing is sometimes difficult. I know it's somehow bfs related but my...

In consultation with my manual therapist I decided to try "dry-needling" therapy.At this point I've had three treatments (every week one treatment) and I must say that my arm/neck (pain)symptoms have been reduced since. It's a new kind of method to treat the trigger points in the body and it...

The last few days I have a hard time squeezing things my fingers (especially right hand). For example, if I hold a pen it is just like it can fall out of my hands and I can barely give any pressure to it. The power/strenght itself is there. Has anybody else experienced this or is it just a...

This morning I visited my neuro to discuss my current situation and we had a good conversation.One of the things we discussed was twitching. What most of us already know and where we try to reassure/help others on this forum he confirmed to me. He said that twitching with ALS is always...

Today I have a new experience and I was wondering if it's common with bfs?As far as I know I have not felt or seen any twitch today but my initial burning nerve pain is flaring up again.For me twitching was never a primary symptom to me but I was wondering if it's something I should worry about?

Hi there, lately I experience that my arms feel nervous and unstable.It is diffucult to discribe but it's like my arms are not feeling powerful enough (perceived weakness?)Somehow it jerks and moves a little, sometimes I feel a muscle twitch but not frequently, as in my legs although that has...
