Not exactly true StephG22 - pain in *** could be due to Cramps, Joint pains (due to immobility) and Spasticity. The stiffness that is mentioned on the websites is actually Spasticity (an UMN sign). Lay people mistakely misfit stiffness as one of their symptom. The stiffness due to spasticity is...

thanks brian for the positivity. glad you're doing well!

My twitches also started when I was (3 mos) pregnant. This started 10 1/2 yrs ago. I also have 3 brain lesions btw. I twitch like crazy & itch all over (this has been going on for a year) & that bothers me the most actually.

Ha ha, not sure my husband loves me THAT much, lol. I'll give it a few days - thanks for the advice!

Thanks, I will try the bypass for a few days. Since it was expensive, switching it would be a hard sell to my husband:( At least I will know if that is the cause though. Thanks!

Thank you for your post. We do have a water softener, so that could be it. I'll look into your other suggestions as well. What was your wife's solution? We have a well so the softener has to stay.

No visual skin problems or dry skin at all. It's been every day (mostly night) for 9-10 months, not coming and going. I don't have anxiety issues or changes in diet that could explain it. The twitching, although constant, doesn't bother me after all these years anymore. Maybe the water from...

I've had bfs for 10 years. Now have intense itching, especially arms, for almost a year. It is mostly at night. No dry skin or any other obvious causes. Worse after showering. Anyone else have this?

I've had BFS for 5 yrs. Recently I've had the sensation of lots of ants crawling on my back whenever I use my back muscles. It comes and goes. Anyone else?

before you go you need to make a pact w/yourself that you will believe what he says and go on to live your life. There are no second chances so don't waste another minute on things that are out of your control and on diseases that I think deep down/logically you know you don't have. Hang in there!

besides the FACT that it's normal to have less muscle mass in one bicep (I ran out of the gym once after doing bicep curls and noticing a big difference between the two), the fact that you didn't see it till it was pointed out to you probably means it's only a slight difference. Clinical...

More people (myself included) have bicepts etc of different sizes than don't. It's totally normal!!!

That does not mean brain tumor. Get an mri to rule it out but don't jump to conclusions. Hang in there!

If you had ms you would have brain lesions and an abnormal spinal tap. There are specific markers in the spinal fluid. My brother has had ms for years yet you'd never know by looking at him now. Don't worry if your mri & spinal is normal--you're just wasting your life away. Trust me I've...

Thanks again you guys! I feel better now. Ava, nice to hear from you and know you are doing well!

Thank you so much. I will read your letter often as it's so true!!!

My bfs started when I was 3 months pregnant. She is 3 now and totaly normal. I just found out I was pregnant again. This hasn't seemed to affect my twitching one way or the other so far.

thanks for the replies - i don't think i described it very well though, Its not really leg bouncing although yeh that happens too and is fairly normal i think. Its like my leg jerks repeatedly when in a certain position, its rythmic though, like a strong twtich every 2 seconds or so. Sound familiar?

In als you don't have excess saliva, just inability to swallow it. I salivate a lot just thinking about chocolate so I think it's something that can occur just by thinking about it.

I have that too---normal!
