I twitch when I flex my calf muscle. Really frightened me when I first saw it. My advice to everyone on this forum is STOP LOOKING AT YOUR MUSCLES!!!!! Is that clear enough. You can look back I think I posted this same thread about 6 months ago. I don't have ALS and neither do you or anyone...

I bought a bottle of Magnesiumorate a couple of months ago. I have tried numerous suppliments and had little to no success. My advice to those on this forum would be that if you believe in something it will likely bring some relief of symptoms (placebo effect). It is also a good time to focus...

I have had the very same symptoms. When I was at my worst, my whole head was in motion. In more detail my neck, ears (inner), cheeks, forehead, eyelids, scalp, tongue were going. I have found that there really is nothing new under the sun when it comes to BFS. You are fine!!! Keep telling...

I get these too. Reasurrance that many people have the same symptoms without permanent ill effects.Tom

Why stop at the lips? My chin would feel left out. Along with my eyelids, cheek, scalp etc., etc., etc. You can relax now. :)

Simon - I guess you and I are the only ones. I am bumping this thread hoping that someone else might respond to these isolated pulses or shocks. I am still having these frequently lasting several hours at a time in one particular spot on my left calf.

This is one of the surprises that I had once I had acquired my own symptoms. I had kept it from my family hoping beyond hope that I didn't have the dreaded disease. Once I did tell my father about my concerns he took no time in raising his pantleg and showing me that he had the same twitches...

In this seemingly never ending series of symptoms, I have for the last couple of weeks experienced a quick vibration or shock in my calf muscle. This vibration/shock is mid-calf and specifically localized. So localized that I could place a pin on the spot. When looking at the calf, I can see...

I also appreciate the quick replies. The worry is that the fascics seem to have settled into one area and now that leg feels different/strange/heavy? Sorry for the repeats just for clarity :oops:

It seems this is the stage that most folks are peaking in their anxiety and I seem to be no less anxious. In fact I would say my anxiety is still going up. I have something going on right now that is an extreme concern of mine. My fascics in the past have been predominately split evenly...

Obviously from all the posts the consensus points to alot of mental pain and anxiety. That pretty much describes where I am right now. Recently, I have been having way more down days. I continue to experience different symptoms and that is the real frustrating part. The twitches really seem...

From my own perspectice, if I'm twitching in 8 months and nothing has occured prior. Who cares!!! But that is me right now where I'm at. I know everyone is different on this. But really think about it. You have been twitching for eight months without any physical change, except for gaining...

Jeffrey,Thanks for your post. It is exactly what I needed this morning. Apart from recording some fascics on my own EMG, the test was "normal". My father has had the twitches since he was a kid and would also receive a "normal" test should he get one. He is now 73 years new. If twitching...

I'm wondering how people were feeling physically and mentally. For me there have been valleys and hills(no mountains yet). This feels like a real vulnerable time, not being long enough to be confident of my health. My symptoms have changed so much in this short time as well. Early on the...

Good news for me is that the tongue twitch comes and goes and is never constatant. At least not yet! It does seem to be more prevalant at night, when I'm tired or "more" stressed. More clues to confirm a BFS dx. Although I'm not there yet some people are doing a good job of convincing me to...

I feel like I don't bring a lot to this forum except my most recent symptoms/scares. As someone still relatively new, I'm still discovering new and scary symptoms.This morning I woke and my left index finger was numb. I have had morning numbness before when I had slept wrong, but within a very...

I guess I should be grateful for the reduction in symptoms, atleast in my lower limbs. The problem is that I am still developing twitches elsewhere. It feels as if this "condition" is making its way through my body. It is different, strange and unfamiliar. So for me a static condition feels...

This has been a really tough week for me. I had the nct and emg test a week ago today. Althought the results were inconclusive of anything horrible, I feel that my symptoms have in some respects changed and perhaps gotten worse. The fasics have subsided somewhat. I was having multiple fasics...

I also wonder how sugar intake might contribute to symptoms. I have made an attempt to limit both (refined) sugar and caffeine. Still waiting for the "Silver Bullet"!

Thanks so much for the responses. I don't think anybody here want to discover that they have a symptom that is different from others. The great comfort to me is knowing that many are expiriencing the same symptoms AND are still present to discuss them. You guys are the best. :D)
