Any !! muscle can be affected. There is no muscle in my body that hasn't twitched yet. I have lip fascics, scalp fascics, legs, arms, but I am not startled by them anymore. Its part of who I am now.

Don't worry, I have the same in my left quad for already three months, first I get a tight feeling and then the fascics start (say 10 seconds. It also soemtimes hurts. 6 months ago I had the exact same thing in my right triceps. Never a dull moment with BFS. And I am 53

Side effect of Omeprazol ??Omeprazol is a medication that is used voor gastric acid complaints. It is prescribed very often. I am already using it for over 10 years now and I do not have gastric complaints anymore. The way it works is that it blocks the H+/K+ pump in the gastric cells. In my...

Welcome to the club ! Just read all the posts, also mine, all the same story. Do try CGT to overcome the anxiety issue.

I missed out on life also for at least 6 months and drove family and friends nuts. The only thing that worked was CGT (psychotherapy). After every reassurance I always wanted the next reassurance. That is why some people have 3-4 EMG's. It never is enough. CGT did not cure my twitching, but I am...

I also found out that pressure, intensive use, long stretching can cause cramps and/or fascicis in muscles.

Hee, collega, ik zie nu dat je ook uit Nederland komt ? Bij wie ben je geweest ? Ik ben uiteindelijk in het AMC bij collega vd Kooi. Heeft mij professioneel en goed benaderd, maar ik heb het idee dat die neurologen toch niet echt goed begrijpen wat je doormaakt, zeker als arts, met dit...

I already did not get it, a CT scan ?? I am a collegue twitcher and doctor who also went all the BFS way. Its our doom knowing too much ;)Bij the way. Today my son of 25 came to me, a bit worried (he is a fysiotherapist) with a nasty twitch in in his left thumb pad fo three day's. He has had a...

One year evaluation, all well.I haven’t been on the site lately and I just wanted to give an update, also for all the newbees that might be going through a rough time (I am a doctor myself and 53)). About a year ago I started with a constant twitch in my right foot arch, after a few weeks...

We stared the same date ! Also april 07. The fascics you describe sounds very familiar and sometimes for hours going on. Its funny to see your fingers move. I just ignore it and don't spent time to it anymore. I am 53 and told my neuro I would come back when I needed a rollator ;). He can't do...

At this moment I already have and intermittend wtitch of my left pinky and ringfinger. Feel just below your elbow on the bow side and you will feel its that muscle that causes it. Sometimes it lasts for weeks before moving on to another spot. My right elbow went for 5 months.Its annoying, but...

Hi Bedan, I am 53 (at the age of all kind of horrible things) with the same stuff for 11 months now, so.... ;)

After being on the BFS Bandwagon for eleven months and having a total body scan last friday (not because of fear but just a routine check as being 53, conclusion of course very healthy, everything tip/top), I think it is time for an evaluation, especially as being a doctor myself. I will tell...

Yep, I am a doctor too, just made an extensive mail to my collegue internist with the same in New York. I am 11 month on the bandwagon and went through thal the medical merry go round. I decided to just go on with my life. There is not much more you can do.

Keep up the good work Sir_Trouserz, this is information that at least helps to understand things and get a grip on it. Thanks, Ron

Hi Allan, fellow doctor. We are the worst I guess. because we know too much. I am 53 and I have diffuse fascics, starting in the feet and in weeks rapidly spreading, now for a year. Same EMG story ! In juni/july an 8 on a 10 scale and now constantly a 3 out of 10. Always still a busy muscle...

I am 53 and I started twitching about 11 months ago. It steadily stays the same now. My son of 25 asked me today wether it was hereditary, because he also has twitches, especially in his abdominal muscles. My neuro asked me also wether my kids had twicthes. That would support the benign...

Reading the forum I am always amazed how similar and specific our symptom complex is. The twitching in thenar, hypothenar, spontaneus movement of fingers, foot arches, calves, the wide spread twitching after waking up and stretching out. I sometimes wonder what would happen if my twitches would...

Sounds so familiar !! When I wake up I lie quiet in my bed and enjoy the total quitness of my muscles. I know when I stretch, the fascics will start...
