Type B, but I wish I were more type A.

Huh, what an interesting concept. :eek: I *should* be donating blood, as my blood type is O-, and it's typically in demand because it's a rarer type, and also, the fact that all people with O- blood can ONLY receive O- blood, no other type. But, problem is that I only weigh 105-107 lbs. on...

Just curious...what is everybody's blood type on here? I'm O-. I've wondered if any blood types have any bearing on what kind of diseases a person is vulnerable to.

Hey, I've experienced what you have to a degree! I've had the twitching on the scalp, and in the locations behind my ears before. It's weird. I've also experienced the throbbing/ice pick headaches every once in awhile, too. I notice BFS in general gets worse when I'm stressed out -- well, it's a...

The absolute weirdest thing for me, that I remember, was it starting in my sides. It felt so strange. It was spring 2009, I was about to turn 16, and I remember getting ready for a ballet recital, and just being so taken aback by the twitching/tremors I would feel along my sides, sometimes...

Sounds like you are experiencing swollen lymph nodes more than anything else. I use essential oils every time mine flare up, and they usually go down pretty fast! There's also this stuff I use called "lympha rub" it is good for making headaches or cramps go away, too. You just apply it topically...

Okay, just wondering if anybody on here has ever experienced an ice pick headache. I have never experienced a migraine before in my life, but I have had these brief, intense, 3-10 second head ache pains that match the description of what most people commonly refer to as an ice pick headache. To...

It's been 6 years and you haven't had any significant muscle weakness - I think you are fine. If you are really concerned, you can go get yourself checked out, though, to give yourself some peace of mind. Believe me, I know how it is. I'm 22 (will be 23 at the end of May) and I've been dealing...

Hey, I know how you feel. I've been experiencing BFS symptoms for nearly 6 years, and I'm 21! It drives me crazy sometimes, but after awhile, you tune it out and forget about it. I'll notice it, but again, after awhile it becomes so normal, that I don't notice when it acts up, and when it...

I don't think this has anything to do with BFS necessarily, but, I must have somehow pulled a muscle that is right under my collar bone on the left side. I'm guessing it's from the weight of my backpack I carry around on campus. (I just started back a little over a week ago) Anyway, I have had...

Haha, I kinda feel bad at laughing, but I'm just like ya'll - the awareness of ALS from the ice bucket challenge...I have been aware for the past 5 years. I studied up on everything and freaked out when I was 16 years old, and now I'm 21 and in college. And yes, every once in awhile I freak...

I can definitely tell that college stress has been affecting my BFS lately. I feel like I'm twitching and buzzing constantly, and it wasn't nearly this bad over the summer. :( Also, over the past 2 days, I've felt this dull, achey pain in my chest. I'm guessing that's stress related...

Okay, almost every time I come inside from a walk, or working out, and sit down, I feel little fasciculations go up and down my legs. They feel like little grapepie almost. It's weird when it's just after walking around, and not doing any strenuous activity. Does anyone else experience that...

Hey, I've been in the same boat. Twitches started happening to me when I was 16 years old, back in 2009. It's 2014, and I'm still twitching, and besides all of that, I am otherwise a very healthy, normal individual. :p I sometimes go through bouts of fear and anxiety with it, but then I come on...

Wow, this is definitely the most informative forum I've ever read/been on! Thanks everyone who participates on these things and contributes information. I've really learned a lot of interesting facts and theories. It's really a relief to finally NOT be scared of learning about what BFS is...

Wow...I don't know if I could do this! O_O Props to you, though! There is so much I would have to cut out, and I'm also a college student who barely has time or money for anything else anymore, and I already know I don't get enough rest. But, alas...anyone who has experienced college will know...

I'm kind of curious if any people on here were hypochondriacs before getting BFS. My whole life, I've been somewhat of a hypochondriac. For an example (and this is comical) when I was 9 years old, I remember feeling a bit of pain around my chest and got some idea in my head that I was dying of a...

Thanks for this...if only I had known of BFS 5 years ago.

I've been undergoing a LOT of stress lately in college, and just a few minutes ago started feeling weird pins and needles sensations in random parts of my body, sort of like how my twitches move around. And I also feel kind of itchy. :p I dunno if that's normal. But, I feel a little better...
