Is this related to bfs. My arms have been itching to the point where they are raw in the morning, since I am not paying attention when i am half asleep. .

Yes for me. Boat pose is the worst, my abs shake like crazy. Planks too. I don't remember having this pre-bfs, but I can't say I was paying attention either.

That is crazy, my left arm/hand did the exact same thing a few weeks ago in our kitchen, my wife kind of looked at it and laughed. I also have had odd throat things that sent me down the roller coaster again. I've gotten close to back to BFS normal again. I'm sure it's totally normal BFS, but I...

Just to be clear, I was googling "benign fasciculation with cramps", to see if I could do research on what the progression of BFCS typically is, and this was the third hit that came up. It wasn't clear until I clicked the link that this person had als. I actually thought it was going to be a...

Wow, I guess that was insanely idiotic on my part. In the past when I've run into something like this (i.e. the Walton study) I've found something in the archives here that provides some reassurance, but that is no excuse. I apologize and will delete this post if people think that needs to be done.

I feel bad for posting this, but I feel like eventually someone will stumble upon it anyways and ask about. Also, I'm hoping maybe someone knows more details about this story and can shed some light on what was going on. I think the thing I don't get here is how it could have been missed on an...

I guess for me the fatigue feels slowly progressive, but it's really hard to say specifically because I try hard not to pay too much attention to it.

I have had an increase in yawning and sighing. I noticed this at one point, but have since forgotten about it.

I have had the finger locking up thing quite often. I think the fleeting paralysis symptom is far and away the scariest bfs symptom. It's happened to me with a facial muscles a few times lately.I also get weird zaps in the knees too.

I am on month 20 of this cr**, and having another ramp up of symptoms. Migratory nerve pain almost all week and increased cramping duration and intensity in my left calve. 1) Anyone else have an increase in cramping and nerve pain this long after things started?2) Is most folks cramping one...

I'm 20 months in and still fighting this. Physically I still have symptoms daily. The twitching is just annoying, but the stiffness, cramping, fatigue really wear on me. Mentally I'm better but still have my days. The last couple of weeks my elbow has been locking up when I bend my arm and it...

my doctor had me try it for a few months since it is supposed help with Fibromyalgia and anxiety and those seem to be related to bfs. It did not have any effect either way on my bfs symptoms. The only positive thing I noticed was that it seemed to improve my focus level. I gained weight on it...

I almost always get twitching in my hamstrings just above the knee after any kind of running. I think that twitching after excercise is very common for everyone, even non-BFS'ers.

I guess the best way to describe it is that it feels like something foreign is in my hand. I noticed that hand looks a bit more shrively than my other one, so now my paranoid mind is thinking some kind of sensory response to a newly atrophied area. You now how the mind works in these cases. My...

This is the best way i can think to explain this feeling. Does anyone else ever get the sensation that they have super glue on part off their hand or anywhere else, even though nothing is there.

Update: went well. Clean quick exam. Nuero seemed bored, which is good. Just wanted to run some blood work. Nothing useful regarding bfs besides the standard stuff, anxiety, sleep, etc

That is why you should NEVER go to any other site for 'research' on BFS. I have not for a long long time. Unforunately, those stories are pasted to the back of my head and I've been trying to make them as fuzzy as possible.

I've been confused by this as well, since all of this started. There are certainly accounts in forums and medical journals of a few folks with twitching and clean EMGs that went on to develop ALS, but I have always just assumed they had BFS and unfortunately developed ALS.

Another thing I've noticed recently. Anyone else have this?

I don't disagree, but I still think I'm a nutcase. The ankle twitching only happens when I stand up, so it's odd to me, first time that happened. You would think I would be use to new symptoms by now, but that doens't seem to be the case.
