My symptoms started weeks after getting the hepaitus immunization. I got flu like symptoms and then the twitching and other things began. I find it interesting because my mother got Mysthenia Gravis after getting a flu shot. I truly believe in my heart that the immunization started me into...

Hey Suzie Q....long time no see! Hope all is well with you. I am fine. Working and running my little ones around daily to their activities! Looking forward to Thanksgiving break!

Hey Barbie. I know exactly what you are going through. I began twitching after my son was born and had a hepititus immunization. Long story short, my son is 6 now. I tried numerous meds and I don't think it was the answer for me. I am still twitching. Sometimes it's bad. Believe me, you will...

Not to put a damper on things, but I got them too and ended up with a pacemaker at 37. Not trying to scare anyone, i'm sure you have had them checked out by now...this post is old. Mine got so bad that you could not ignore them. My heart was beating very rapidly, but also stopping for 6...

Hey David. Sorry to hear about your divorce, ect....that is enough to send anyone into twitching! Hope all is well now. Did you go to the neurologist yet? Let me know what he says. I saw my dr last year sometime and had him look at my foot. If I lifted my toes, I had all kind of dents in...

Now here are some blasts from the past....Jeff and David. I still lurk around here at times. I have wondered about the old gang. Jeff, how old is the baby? David are you still flying?Amy

I get this too. I did not get this symptom until like 4 years into this, so it was a new one for me. I have been having alot of jerking of my arms and legs too. The symptoms are ever changing for me, always something new happening.Amy

Hey Troy, nice to see you here and glad things are going well for you. I'm still twitching as usual. I have had some heart problems and got a pace maker in December. At 37, this is alot on my plate. I actually had an appointment with my neurologist today and he said I am doing great. My...

Four years for me. I have to say that since my heart problems started, I have no time to worry about my twitches. I still have them, still feel weak, etc....however my mind is pre-occupied with other issues. I guess I needed to get my mind off this BFS stuff, it just stinks I needed another...

I've had the same feeling in my throat. Almost like I have a fur ball in my throat. I've been told it's stress.It comes and goes.Amy

I am 37 now...was 33 when it all startedAmy

Hi Erin. I have Chiari Malformation too. I am a 37 year old female. At the beginning of this, I was sent to my neurlogist, who did an MRI and found the Chiari. Mine is only about 6 - 7 milimeters. My neurologist said it would not cause any of my symptoms due to the fact that it's not that...

First I was told to take it in the day due to my low blood pressure. They wanted me to take it while I would be up and moving around. I just couldn't tolerate it. It is working out taking it at bed. I am functionable, but I yawn all day long! I am not a tired type of person, I never take...

Hi Charlene. What medication do you take for your palpatations? I just got a pacemaker put in about a month ago. I was put on Atenelol (25 mg.) once daily and man do I feel like I've been run over by a truck about 3 hours after taking it. I am now taking one half at bed. Just curious as to...

Congrats Sean......I'm really happy for you! Take a break, go enjoy yourself.Amy

Andy, great news! Like you said....you don't know if it's BFS, but you know what it is NOT! I am so happy for you, it's a relief....I know exactly how you feel. :D) We all know how worried you have been. Take your good news and run with it.Go drink a beer and who cares if you must hold it...

Wow Corey, what a story! I have been at this BFS thing for over 3 years now and it's tough. I went through the "I know this is ALS, I know it's not". I consider everyday that I am walking and carrying on a normal life a blessing! Thanks for posting. Amy

Mine twitches when I am finished eating. Please don't fret, it's scary at first, but it's just like any other muscle that twitches on our body. Take care, Amy

Thanks Val. It's funny that you mention the heart palpitations. I have been having them too. I truly think this may be an inner ear thing. My ear slightly hurts. My neck hurts on the same side. I do have sinus trouble, but took a Z-Pack (antibiotic) a few weeks ago and it seemed to clear...
