    BFS: Symptoms Beyond Muscle Twitching

    I agree that it could be autoimmune.For someone like me, autoimmunity is likely induced by psych stress,such as purported hereI wish in my case that it had been a virus, as then I wouldn't feel like such a dumbass for not reducing my cortisol levels sooner. But it could have been viral, in that...

    My Widespread Twitching: Update

    That puts it in a lot of perspective, BobJazzy, thanks. My twitches are amateur by comparison. For me, I just have a day where a muscle group will decide it is going to have the limelight, and then it will twitch for a few hours. Two days ago it was both of my shoulders. like rapid hiccups in my...

    Help - Deep Low & L5 Nerve Issue

    Yeah, denervation is from an injury. Reinervation is what you muscle does to compensate and heal. It's the signal wiring version of scar tissue, a compensating but imperfect body repair technique. With lower mnd this would happen continuously and progressively, which creates a distinct Emg...

    BFS: Symptoms Beyond Muscle Twitching

    As most of us that have been on this site for a while know, BFS is kind of a catch-all diagnosis. We all have the baseline of twitching, but after that there are any number of "extra" symptoms that plague us just as much as the twitching does. And even in the twitching, there is a large degree...

    Ruling Out After Clean EMG Results

    I agree with the posts above.For those who suspect an OCD form of health anxiety is making having twitches worse, one theory about OCD is that it is a soothing mechanism gone wrong. "Just making sure" is often the phrase that justifies the repeatd compulsion. But the reward for just making sure...

    BFS Not Uncommonly Experienced

    I used to have bouts of eyelid twitch back in college. That was definitely stress, but was rare and only happened a few times.I don't remember twitching much between that decade and this one. I was the same as WindyCityGentleman, pain and twitching really started up at the same time. The last...

    Investigating Possible Neuro Muscular Disease

    Because everyone is different suggesting complex psychological conditions such as Somatoform disorders over the internet could be inaccurate at best. A diagnosis of such disorders requires clinical assessment. Even then it is a psychological perspective open to interpretation that exhibits...

    Twitching in lips/jaw and tongue

    I agree the main freakout factor is bulbar onset hypochondria ;)Also, have you ever seen how the brain devotes sensory detail to different body regions? Its pretty amusing. If you take the amount of somatosensory cortex devoted to body parts, you end up looking something like this: :LOL: Note...

    Tremor/ Fasciculations Sensations Freaking Me Out.

    I also think that many people with this condition are HYPER aware of what is going on with their bodies. Things that they maybe did not pay soo much attention to are focused and at the forefront. So perhaps you are feeling for any odd sensations and when you have one you ratchet in your...

    Leg Twitches: Spinal or Higher?

    I meant to add as well my twitching seems to be at its worst after times when the swelling in my backwould be at its worst. (After exercise, extended time on my feet, at the end of the day. ) For the most part there are no twitches in the morning until I get out of bed and have been on my feet...

    Testing Strength: Is This Nuts?

    In December I found this cute website where someone wrote a 'guide for testing if you have ***'. It was a series of progressively stupid self tests designed to get the point across to you that you were wasting time doing stupid self test but still couldn't accept the results. I did them all...

    Twitching, Weakness, and ALS: Letting Go

    Your story sounds similar to mine and so many I've read here. I've been twitching for six months now, and like you I'm pretty sure everything that can twitch, has. Mine had practically stopped until I got back into an exercise routine. Now I get more but for the most part I ignore them. Its a...
