Since this all began over 5 years ago my left foot has had relatively constant twitching and sometimes cramping (usually at night). I have no weakness. What bothers me right now is it has never gone away completely. It always comes back at some point. Does this mean I have permanent damage...

So just for all those who wonder, what happened to people. We are all still here. My journey with this began 5 years ago. I no longer stress about the twitching. In fact I am pretty sure I would miss it if it was gone. I still get it all. Including the night time cramps in my left foot...

Can't tell you how many times I have checked the phone that wasn't in my pocket. Happens all the time. I get them in my feet as well. Especially left foot.

Sometimes I wish you could unlearn all those things you read. Like that movie "Men in Black" just flashy thing yourself, and forget it all. On a bright side it's feeling better the last couple of days. I talk to a doctor about it (I have a friend who is a doctor) and she felt it was most...

So this morning was the first time I have worn a button up shirt since this started. I didn't have trouble doing it per se, but it was painful. I have also had more and more twitching in my thumb and index finger since this started. I have had bfs for almost 5 years now, so you would think...

What's tough with this situation is there was no injury or overuse. I've tried resting it, and it's not getting better. There is no apparent weakness. Haven't dropped anything, can lift the dining room chair with just my index finger. It's literally just my pinch grip that hurts. I wouldn't...

Just wondering if the is BFS related or something else. My index finger hurts pretty bad whenever I pinch my index finger and thumb together (pinch grip). It's making things like clipping my finger nails painful. It's isolated to just that finger. Of course I have had some minor twitching in...

As long as I remember to do so each year I will post here to reassure everyone that I am still alive. It's now been 4 years since it all started for me. And to be honest I don't rightly care much about BFS anymore. I don't pay attention to it. I don't search the internet for answers. I...

So I am making my annual, yep I am still here and I am fine. One of the things that bothered me early on was that you would read peoples stories and the would mysteriously disappear. I now know that is because they moved on with their life. So I find it important to check in and say I am...

I know that I have had these for at least 1 year. In fact my last post on this site was about the same thing. I don't have any problems with strength. I teach marching band, and I can demonstrate to the kids how to stand up on your toes to move backward, and I have better balance than them. I...

Honestly I try to avoid this area like the plague anymore. I am a 2.5 year twitcher. My question is for those who have cramps. I have having nocturnal cramps but only in my left foot. I have had them for probably about a year, but they were rare, so I didn't pay much attention. Recently...

I have had blood work as recently during this stint for diabetes, plus I am hypothyroid and take synthroid for that. Starting to sound to me like this is not typical of bfs or bcfs.

Since the fall I have been getting cramps in my left foot only. No where else. I have a lot of buzzing, twitching that moves the toes, and soreness in thie foot as well. I have had the bodywide twitching for over 2 years. Anyone else experience cramps in just 1 foot? What bothers me is the...

I posted several days ago that I have reached 2 years. I left this page many many months ago because I needed to get away from the thoguhts of these horrible diseases. for me that was the only "cure." I knew if I stayed I would click on every link, every article that tried to convince me that...

One more important reminder. Yesterday I attended a funeral service for a 14 year old boy who died from cancer. The fact that we worried about a disease we don't even have pales in comparison to not even living long enough to make it into high school. It was a very touching ceremony, and a...

I am also a yes. I am also on synthroid. I was taking prilosec to offset stomach issues caused by taking prednisone. for Bell's Palsy.

It's been a long time since I posted here. I made a decision many months ago that I needed to leave this site for my own mental health, but also for my family. I was distracted, disengaged, and overall just not fun to be around. I have now been twitching for 2 years. It all started for me...

After careful consideration I have decided to leave the forum. I beleive it is in the best interest of myself and my family. for me I got over the fear of ALs some time ago, but I think reading all the stories about everyone afraid of what might happen keeps me in a paranoid state on some...

Nope no EMG. I don't believe you need an EMG. Since that is what my neuro told me, and what most people will tell you. They are only for anxious people who don't believe their doctors. I believe him, and have been twitching for 1 year. You can check my recent post, 1 year....YAY. Shotgun...

Yes, Yes, and yes. Plus biceps, triceps, forearms, back, neck, thighs, butt, you name it. It doesn't matter where you twitch. The more widespread the better. Plus 4 years, you are absolutely fine.
