I have had twitches for 15 months now. It started out in a finger and are now widespread, though mostly in the calves and arches. However i have them all over at least a couple of times every day. I went to the neuro and had emg tests done three months after they started and everything was fine...

Does that include the muscle under the chin though? I sure hope so, would make feel a lot better and lessen my anxiety (which I am sure is not helping).

In the past I have been twitching in various spots all over my body. My neuro thinks it is BFS. Tonight though the muscle under my chin started twitching, toward the left side. It is freaking me out. Am I the only one here that has had this?

Thanks for the replies. Its nice to know people that are going through the same thing, very comforting. I have them body wide but nowhere near the rate that I do in my calves and feet. I only notice them when I dwell on them, which makes it seem even more pronounced. At times they seem to be...

as stated in some of my earlier posts, I developed twitches after starting a exercise routine that culminated in running 5k three or four times a week. First it was constant twitching in one finger and then 24/7 twitches in my calves. I took it easy on the exercise and scaled back as my neuro...

I started exercising (jogging, lifting) about nine months ago. About two months into it my pinky was twitching rapid fire for a month. My neuro gave me a EMG and it cam back perfectly clean. I started running 5k four days a week followed by lifting. Everyone told me I was overdoing it and then...

Yea, my neuro stated that one side was more hyper than the other (one knee went six inches above the other). After seeing and testing my reflexes and the differences between them, he stated he was 99.9% sure it was not ALS. Still it worries me that one side was more hyper than the other. Is...

Thanks Troy for the advice. None of this would not have happened except for an annoying pinky twitch that went non stop for about a week and then just halted about a month ago. I have always had twitches here and there in my body since I was a child but never gave any thought to any of it until...

Well I have a EMG scheduled for Friday and I am so nervous that I do not know how I am going to concentrate on the tasks at hand this week. I went to the Neuro because my finger was twitching and he sheduled a MRI (which I took already) and a EMG. Some questions: Isnt a EMG also used to look...

I get the same thing Mary. Since I have been on Zoloft (almost a month now), my fingers on both hands will jump, my hands will occassionaly jerk, etc.

The past couple of days I have developed a cough. Also the past couple of days I have had an explosion of muscle twitches like I have never experienced before. Is this related? I have heard that BFS can be a virus. Is this true? I have no trouble swallowing or anything like that.

probably so, now that I am worried about this right arm I noticed that today I have had twitches in my hand, forearm, finger, etc. on that arm, at least twenty or so. In your experience (or any one else for that matter) does anxiety about them actually make them worse and appear more often?

Yea? My right arm has been doing it all day for some reason. Why does it suddenly decide to start up with a vengeance like this? It bugs the stew out of me because when I wake up in the morning, my right hand will "feel" weaker than the left as if it is still halfway asleep. But when I test...

It worries me because the twitches are all occuring in my right arm as opposed to none in the left arm (except for the left hand on occasion). I get light twitches in both legs but those dont worry me. Is it normal for BFS to strike one arm pretty heavily and leave the other one alone?

Thanks golf. It just freaked me out to have that pinky twitch for a week and then later have my forearm twitch several times last night. Because the spots were in the same arm and only eight inches apart I got worried they were connected. Two questions: Did you have forearm and finger twitches...

Thanks guys for the kind words and advice. I am definitely working on getting my anxiety under control!

He just stated MRI. my right leg jumped up about six inches higher than the other leg when he tested though when I did here at the house it was about the same. I just try to take comfort in the fact that after testing them he stated that while it was asymmetrical hyper-tuned, he was 99.9% sure...

Yea I have had a lot of anxiety the past week and was VERY nervous when i went to see my neurologist. My dominant side was hyper and my right leg kicked up higher than my left. After all this he told me that he was 99.9 % sure that it was not ALS but wanted a MRI and nerve testing because he...
