I thought I'd take a moment to copy a reply I sent to someone regarding some fears of someone on another forum saying something to the effect of someone having BFS and ALS. here is my reply. Take it for what it's worth....---------------------------------------------------------I have no idea...

Hi everyoe, I don't post much on here these days but I thought I'd come-on today and post an answer I gave to someone that asked me a question about the validity of EMG test results found in an old article from who knows where. Tey said the article said EMG test results can be inaccurate. Below...

Barts thread named "Back from Neuro" has a lot of facts in it that I would like to support and comment on because I get asked about this stuff so many times and I have said all of those same things, over and over again.Bart: I gave him a list with all my symptoms (fascics under feet, fascics...

Someone asked me a question in a PM saying they read someplace that a few people have had BFS turn into ALS, so I thought I'd share my reply with you to set the record straight, once and for all.-----------------------------------There are people who like nothing more than to go on our site and...

Too many people on here believe BFS twitches and ALS twitches are somehow related, or at least related "disease" wise. Nothing could be farther from the truth! They have NOTHING to do with each other, what so ever!Saying BFS and ALS have twitches in common is like saying people that shake when...

Here is a continuation:Re: where did I see this?Oh god yeah, "buzzing" or "vibrating" is a common BFS symptom that a lot of people get. The pins and needles are referred as peripheral neuropathy (PN), and a lot of people with BFS experience that too, although it may or may not have anything to...

These are just some of my answers to private messages I have gotten that I thought I would delete the names from and share with all of you to help you understand what BFS is and what the differences are between ALS and BFS. By reading my replies, you can clearly understand what the questions...

You have to be careful with words like Fibromyalgia and anxiety and such. Doctors like to use those as a "blanket" cause for a lot of unexplained symptoms. There are many people who have BFS that have a "doctor's diagnosis" of Fibro, and vise/ versa. Even Chronic fatigue is thrown around out...

I can say this with experience, SSRI meds take a couple of weeks before they begin working, and during those first few weeks, most people experience an intense increase in twitching, jolts, shakes and general groggyness. You have to be careful with SSRI's. They are designed for the long haul...

Hi everyone, this is a respons I wrote to an individual that PM'd me and I thought it might help many of you as well, so I copied it. This person wanted to know what else she can do to "treat" BFS twitches other than alcohol, and here was my reply: Hi *******, the only thing that works really...

Ok, a few of us BFS veterans on here have beliefs that BFS is not a neurological condition at all, but rather some type of chemical imbalance caused by something. Food maybe? Additives maybe? A Virus or bacteria maybe? An illness? Hormones? Antibiotics? Who really knows yet? I just wanted to...

This is yet another reason some of us BFS veterans believe that BFS is a chemical based problem or "imbalance", as in body chemicals such as horomones or enzymes, much like your "girlie" pills regulate and alter in your bodies, hence your changes in symptoms. We all know that stress and anxiety...

Besides, a definitive "abnormal" EMG reading as well. Twitching alone certainly does NOT mean ALS, what so ever. Not even in the throat!

ALL of the quotes below were taken from the neurologists at the MedHelp.org web site. I have to put the quote of one doctor first, because this is VERY important, and it is why you won't see a "definite" answer. They HAVE to cover their butts! "I try not to say "always" or "never", especially...

Thanks for replying to my previous message. It is comforting to know that other people are going through the same thing and are fine!! I was wondering last night about the difference between ALS and BFS twitching. Am I right to assume that if your twitching is random i.e twiching in calves...
