I would suggest some introspection on this subject. Xanax doesn't strike the root of what you're going through. Instead of feeding the compulsion to seek out fear-fueling, confirmation bias information, perhaps it might be beneficial to try and analyze your subconscious motives here. Since the...

Thanks for taking the time to share your story. Everything sounds like BFS to me. I used to get a lot of those finger twitches and tremors. Though they can be more unnerving than other twitches, rest assured that it is nothing that falls outside of the BFS spectrum. And symptoms getting...

"I just WISH I had never looked up "muscle twitching" on google. If not, I would have gone in and said "OK...this is what the doctor says" and that would be it."Ain't that the truth!Congrats on the diagnosis. I hope it has brought your anxiety levels down.

Hi Olimpio,Welcome to the forum. Sounds like a textbook case of BFS. From my understanding, twitching of muscles as a result of ALS is a sign of the muscle dying and you would have experienced significant weakness in the twitching muscle already. Also, with BFS, the twitches can occur...

Those symptoms do not indicate anything other than BFS and medication is not a long term answer. Symptom management through medication does not address what is causing the problem in the first place. It seems clear you have BFS, so don't worry about the EMG; and if it is going to cost you a...

Yes, shaking limbs is a hallmark symptom of BFS for me and many others here. Personally, I shake more in my arms than my legs, but have experienced the same shakiness walking down stairs. It can get really bad during or after a workout. No loss of strength, but just appears as if the muscles...

Hi Andrew,Wow, I'm so sorry to hear about your father :( That's terrible and so sad.Yes, I'm sure your experience from both the ALS and BFS side of things will be of great aid and relief to those on the board who are new to this. I can say that this was a very inspiring post for me. Thanks so...

Yep, I also have jaw problems. I imagine mine to be just another symptom of stress in combination with an overbite.

Firstly, I'm sorry to hear your doctors are treating you this way :( That is very frustrating. Neither of my doctors (my general practitioner or my neuro) saw any of my fasciculations in action. Whether or not the doctors caught them in action -- either with the EMG or with their own eyes --...

I get twitches in these areas as well. I can understand being more concerned about them, since anything to do with hands and fingers are always creepier (they are for me, anyway), but it's not an indicator of anything non-BFS related. I regularly experience new twitches, or a shifting of...

I'm also on a quest to get my body back on the track to receiving all the proper nutrition it needs for optimum health and I definitely believe now that my depression was linked to my Vitamin D deficiency. I've also been on Effexor, was on it for about 5 years. Upon looking at the questionable...

You're not alone in having long duration twitches. I have had a twitch in my right arm, between the bicep and tricep, everyday for over TWO AND A HALF MONTHS to varying degrees. It has calmed down a lot in the last week, so I'm hoping it finally moves on soon. Also have had the same hand...

I found Mike Porcaro as well when researching ***. But if you were two years into it, you'd have known it by now for sure, and would have only continued to get worse. I get stiffness in my hands and arms as well, but the fact that it waxes and wanes (and does not continue to progress) means...

They have been a very rare twitch for me so far, but I've had a few of these as well.

Hello all,A new twitcher here. Just wanted to quick introduce myself, as I hope to use this site to not only discuss BFS with others, but also as a sort of record of my own experiences as I move forward.I'm a 34 year old male and have had BFS now for roughly 2.5 months. Similar to the...
