Hello,I am approaching my 2 year anniversary with good ole BFS, at least that's what i hope i have. I haven't been on this site for a while now as my symptoms had all but disappeared, apart from the twitching, that's still there, just less intense and i don't pay it as much attention these...

I couldn't agree more. I don't post on here all that often, but i'm always popping in and out and reading other people's stories. It helps immensly to know that i'm not the only one with weird symptoms! Zoe

Hi All,I'm just wondering if anyone else's health anxiety extends to other people? For example if my children are ill, i always think the worst, it can never just be something simple!!Would be interesting to know if others on the board do this?Regards Zoe

Hmmmmm, that's interesting. I took Citalopram for 3 years on and off, due to post natal depression after the birth of my second son. I've never considered before if my symptoms could be linked to that. I'm gonna have a good hard think about when my twitching started and if it was around that...

Hi,I have this problem too, it's a huge part of my BFS. I can't even hang out the washing or change bed sheets without my arms hurting like crazy. My legs ache all the time. I have two children and sometimes i can't bear it if they lean on my legs to climb onto my lap as the pain is awful...

I have this all the time too. This is one of my symptoms that i really don't like. Some days i feel like i'm gonna fall over! Horrible!Zoe

Hi Neville,Just wondering what sensory issues you have with your leg? I too have weird sensory stuff going on with my leg, i would be interested to know if we have similar symptoms.Zoe

Hi Jan,I often think about you when i log onto here because our symptoms were so similar.I wish you well with your recovery.Stay in touchZoe

I freaked out last year thinking I had MS b/c I had vertigo and dizzy spells. So, i went on Dr google and bingo I had MS. I was convinced! The more I read, I had more of the symptoms. One morning, after reading people w/MS stories on some website the night before, I woke up and had...

mumof2,Hi there, what you have just described is exactly the same as i have in my left leg from my knee to my ankle. I am actually quite relieved to hear that someone has the same thing. I have been having problems with weird sensations and twitching for 18 months or more now. I have a MAJOR...

I have this in my left leg from the knee down, it feels very weird. Should i be worried?? Mine doesn't come and go either, it always feels kinda weird. Worries me sick. I've had a clear brain MRI. All this stuff has been going on for me for about 18 months, my doctor thinks i'm neurotic!!!!

OMG! I'm sooo glad that you have posted this question. I have been experiencing this sensation for a while, it feels horrible. I usually feel the chills in my back, but sometimes they can kind of go all over, hard to explain really. I also feel that i have reduced sensation from the knee...

Hey there, I have masses of floaters and i think they came along with my onset of BFS (hard to recall). I have been to my optician, she tells me they are nothing to worry about and are more likely to be due to my being short sighted than anything else . Funny how they only came along with all...

hello,I have had pain in my hands on and off for a very long time. I am an avid reader, sometimes just holding my book can make my hands hurt like hell.My mum always told me it was because i crack my knuckles and i'd given myself arthritis......oh god, another thing to worry about!!!!!Zoe

Hi,I've just hit the one year mark. Having said that I have twitched for much longer than that, years longer in fact. I was just never worried about it before all of my tingling started.Clean brain MRI scan still does nothing to allay my fears :(

Yeah, that's exactly how mine feels! I hate all this, it's awful. I thought i was the only one with the weird feeling leg until i read posts from you and Simon. Feels good to know that i may not be crazy after all! Also my leg feels worse in the night and first thing in the morning.

Hi Chris and Simon,I too have the awkward, stiff feeling in my left calf that you guys have. I have a question for you both. Do you have any change in sensation in the leg with the stiffness??I ask this because my leg "feels" kinda different to the other and i'm not talking about the stiff...

Hi Simon,I have this stiffness ALL the time in my left calf and ankle. I too do quite a bit of running. Some days i have pain to accompany the awkward feeling, other days just the weird feeling. BUT i also have numbness and pins and needles in this leg. I have had a clear brain MRI. I have...

Raymondo,I get the burning sensation in my knees a lot. It's a horrible feeling, and sometimes lasts for ages. I also get burning in both of my feet, although more in the left foot than the right. Zoe

Angus, i know just how you are feeling. I have that awful burning in my feet all the time. I'm having a rubbish time of it at the moment too. I feel so down and can't think of anything apart from I must have something really wrong with me to have all this going on. I have a horrible feeling...
