Welcome aboard! Sorry you're here, but we understand !!! Think positive and remember it could be a lot worse.

J. Sorry to welcome you, but it sounds like BFS to me.

Guilty ! Or how about the famous, Hey! Check out my tongue!!!.......followed by the crazy look from the spouse or friend...particularly after the fiftieth request. LOONEY TOONS !!!!

Hi. When my BFS was at its worst, I noticed the same "pruned" finger tips. I was told by two physicans that this is a classic symptom of anxiety, which of course i did not believe. Anyway, I still get this symptom sometimes.

Well, I don't know exactly but here is a good start: Per the Census Bureau the population of USA on 6/27/05 is 296,468,887 of which approx 5,000 have ALS so... The percentage of people in U.S. with this very, very rare disease is .0000168 % !!!! Of these people, say 10% start with Bulbar...

Hi. Great report. I am interested in the specific blood tests he asked for. Please let us know if you can. Thanks

Hi. I have a thought for you, My wife is a gastrointestinal nurse and she says many of these types of symptoms can be reflux, GERD, etc.. I had the lump feeling off and on and it turned out to be reflux. Thanks

Hi. I haven't posted lately because I am hardly twitching and I am not stressed about dying from ALS. I have been taking Lexapro for awile with great succees. (See my old posts) Please note that its full effects take months to kick in . Be well

I'd drink swamp water if it can cure the twitches !!!

I can see it now.....the camera fades in on a group of us BFS'ers, muscles twitching away and the ad man says.... Do you twitch? Well not anymore, Drink Gatorade !! LOL :LOL: I hope that this works for all of us !! Good idea on the electrolyte imbalance.

Great !!! Now what flavor of Gatorade did you drink? I want to replicate your actions exactly :)

:D) From one neg. EMG/NC to another, congrats!!!!!!

Brian: Thanks for sharing the story. Oh yeah, Life is a Twitch....but only if you let it get you down :)

Amy: Can you describe (if anything) what you may have done over the last year to attempt to decrease the BFS? Thanks

Right on ...now to something important, When does Badass Racing get its own show on the Discovery Channel ? :)

To add to Alonzo's disection "but it's not the absolute rule, the bloody desease could start also everywere at the same time" Bloody?? I don't know many Italians, but the ones I do know are not big users of the term "bloody". Sounds a little too British for me :LOL:

Karen: More NORMAL proof. Think how boring you must seem to your Doctor. Nothing bad going on here :)

I Did. Neuro said "These are benign fasiculations" 2 Normal neuro Exams. 1 Normal Brain MRI. Twitching now for 1.5 year(s). Still alive and kicking !! Decreasing twitches over last two months. Hope this helps.

Jerry: I had the brain MRI too to rule out MS. My doctor felt the same way in that he did not think I had it but did it to make me feel better. Guess What? He was right. Take care.

BTS: WAY TO GO ON THAT POST !!! I love your doctor.
