Vanessa, One thing I'd have to say is that I know there are people on this board who have been twitching etc.. for close to twenty years and I know that makes me feel better. However, I guess the bottom line is this. As far as science can say, it is a benign syndrome. I'm a scientific person...

Nope- I twitch all over...24/7 in the calves though and probably 50% of the time in the feet....random everywhere else. Exercise aggravates it but I do it anyway....

I'm pretty high anxiety...I own a business and was in the middle of leaving one steady job when the twitching started....then I opened another business...so, yes, pretty high stress

Interesting...made me think about my onset. Throughout the year before the BFS started I used to feel like the skin of some of my toes was numb...and stiff and swollen actually- almost like I needed to drink more water. Of course, at the time I figured I might be getting rheumatoid arthritis. I...

You know- I've definitely given it some STRONG consideration over the years- coming back to at least offer my own experience with BFS. My biggest problem is that I've had a really bad time with health anxiety for...well, basically my whole life, as long as I can remember anyway. I know that...

Must having subscribed to this thread a while back and lo-and-behold :D) . Hope all is well with everyone- I laughed at the time stamp on the original thread 2006!! where does the time go. Still twitching away here- what- 5 years now this July for me. I just had vein surgery on one of my legs...

Hi everyone!When July rolls around each year, it reminds me to take time to post a quick update.Last year (at 3 years into my twitching- all the time in my calves and random ones that crop up elsewhere), I finally came to terms with the fact that I'd probably have this twitching forever. Then...

not really- I think most of that was just anxiety related. Just the calf twitching is it most of the time...

Forget to answer the rest of your question...twitching is constant in my calves but I do get random ones maybe one a month now...maybe even less. I'd say the ones that really end up being hot spots (lasting 2-3 days or so) might only be every 6 mths or so. So, there is a bright point I guess...

I actually don't take Klonopin anymore. On the day I found out I was pregnant with my daughter (nearly 2 years ago now), I stopped taking it. After I delivered her, I was nursing so it wasn't an option. Then, I realized I was really doing quite fine without it. Not that I minded taking it- it...

Hi all,Just a quick hello- I'm sure I don't know hardly any of the people on here anymore but I know how much I loved to read posts from those who had BFS for quite a while. Three years this July! Where'd the time go!My story is much the same as everyone else- I've had every conceivable type of...

sure did...probably 6 months into it...and I didn't like them either! I've had them pretty much everywhere you could name.. As a matter of fact I have a constant twitch today that moves my pinky finger...really annoying when I try to write...but you get to the point where if you worried about...

My last post didn't seem to show so I'll try again!Finally! I've been looking for a post like this for TWO years. I just logged on to post- first time in months...and happened to do a search on herpes as I always felt this was linked to my BFS. Guess what?? When my BFS started, I've never had...

Hi everyone,I haven't posted in the main section of this site in QUITE a while ...however, back in July, I've been 2 + years with BFS- WOW! Good news is, as the anniversary came and went, I actually never got around to posting. And to think that in the first year of this I posted something close...

Had them a ton in the beginning and time to time still (2 yrs later). Mine were accompanied by my heart racing (how fun!). My sleep study showed the racing heart and the abrupt awakening...no suggestions except medication. Good news is they are VERY infrequent now. Sleep study looks for epilepsy...

If I remember correctly from my days in psych work (and it's been a while but I think I have it right" , 3-4 am is the most common time to wake when your body is in an anxious state. No worries- concentrate on the anxiety and see if the sleep gets better. Sometimes we forget how anxious our...

I agree with a lot of what is said in the above posts...I'm getting pretty close to 2 years with this and I may log-on once a month or so (and sometimes only to PM people I've become friendly with). Then, there are the veteran's souls who really make this board what it is and post often, helping...

I definitely have it on and off as well...but when it's on, it's REALLY on...terribly annoying but I think that anxiety over it tends to cause an increase in the tongue twitching...vicious cycleMy guess is when you least expect it, it will stop. Then, you won't think about it until it happens...

and don't forget M&M's and Goldfish that somehow end up in every car that the kids sit their butt in... dammernoodle...I got *beep* ed on my first selection so I figured I'd go with something in the same vein...

Absolutely true....after 14 months into this, I have days where I don't feel twitching at all. Then, if I think "hmm, am I still twitching"- sure enough I'm twitching just as much as always. All day long in my calves...randomly everywhere else. It's just a matter of perspective- I personally...
