BFS Burger, please do some further research before you make claims about the Paleo diet. I'm confused as to why anyone would ever say that a Paleo diet is low energy? What??? Everything that you are recommending conflicts with the science behind Paleo. I wholeheartedly believe that diet and...

I know this is an old thread, but I thought I would post my personal experience with gluten sensitivity. I had a DNA test that showed I carry not one, but two genes that predispose me to gluten sensitivity. So I got a copy from each of my parents. My mother has fibromyalgia, diabetes, high...

Just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and that recovery is possible! One of the first steps is staying off of the Internet and obsessing about your health! I've worked very hard for months and I can now say that I don't have any more twitches than my husband! I don't come here very often...

Just wanted to say so long and to thank each and every one of you who supported me when I was trying to find my way. I'm still trying to get control of my anxiety and deal with BFS, but hanging around here has started to be a bit counterproductive to my recovery. Once I'm in a better state of...

Like I said on another post of yours, I don't think there is anything that anyone can tell you at this point. Anxiety can give you lump in throat, classic! Dr. Google should not be consulted. If you are really in this much panic you should go to the ER. You are too young to be wasting your...

Your doctor is probably annoyed and irritated that she is spending time talking about nothing! :) I'm not sure there is anything more that anyone can tell you. If you saw 3 more neuros you would still be doubting! This is where your logic has to come in now. If you don't calm yourself you...

What you are describing sounds like a panic attack to me. That's how I feel when I have one.

I don't know about droids, but look for apps by Andrew Johnson or go to withandrewjohnson.com and check out his relaxation recordings, they really help me calm my mind.

I'm certain if I start thinking about extra saliva, I will have it too! Saliva is such an automatic response if you think about it. It doesn't mean deadly disease! Really! Pavlov's dog, yummy food, it's an emotional and programmable response! Don't sweat (or salivate) over it!As for the...

Get busy living or get busy dying!!! Seriously, I know this is hard but take a vacation! I would give anything to have some time alone away with my husband! Don't ruin your vacation, it's a choice!

Have you ever heard a new word and then realized over the next few days you start hearing it all the time? That's the way your brain works when you are alerted to something. Right now you are on alert to your physical sensations. High alert! I know this from experience! Take some really deep...

Have you read any of Dr. John Sarno's books? I think he specifically mentions Ankylosing Spondylitis. It might be a little "far out" there for some, but I'm getting some relief myself. You have to keep an open-mind!

You don't have to have insurance to see a doctor. Even if you have to go to a Walgreen's or CVS clinic you should really address your diabetes. That said, your symptoms don't sound scary to me. I have a constant twitch in my foot/legs and all my tests are normal. I am a new mom and have...

Tension, tension, and more tension. You are anxious and your muscles are contracting even without you knowing it. Talk to your brain and tell it to relax your muscles and that you are young, healthy and full of life! You are way too young to be worried about anything serious!

My anxiety has been super high, but yesterday I started "positive journaling," at the suggestion of my therapist. I woke up feeling much more calm than usual and less symptomatic. I'm gonna try and stick with and see if it helps. I've noticed that I get in a negative thought pattern and...

If it makes you feel any better, I have invisible twitches in my left foot, calf, thigh, hip/butt and lower back! And I've had every medical test on the planet and only have anxiety!

My left foot goes from tingling to buzzing like a beehive! It's definitely annoying, I'm just trying to relax into and not give it much attention. Easier said than done!

I have this in my left trapezius muscle. It's almost constant and I can never really stretch it out. I hate the paresthesias too! I'm having a rough week as well, you're not alone! Hope you feel better!
