    Thank you so much for the peace of mind... it is only in my left hand and I am right handed so not the mouse but holding anything or buttoning shirt etc...but the jerks move my whole thumb and palm back and forth . I guess it is probably just a big old thumper not a fatal sign of something...

    Low blood pressure and BFS?

    Hi GinniferLynne, I had the same exact feeling that hit almost the same time my twitching did. I also was afraid that it was the bulbar onset! I ended up going to an ENT after about three months with this and he dx GERD and prescribed Prevacid once a day. He did the rubber tube down my nose...

    Fellow Twitchers: Weakness Worries?

    The part that frustrates me the most is just how much this ambiguous syndrome affects our lives...Do you ever feel snappy or tired or stressed at your children or your signficant other for no reason other then fighting the dreaded fear of ALS or even the fatigue that shouldn't be there for us...

    BFS: Fatigue vs. Weakness?

    Hello, I am rather new to all this...7 weeks. Have been to a Neuro. who dx BFS and RLS. He didn't do any tests other than the basic balance, reflex etc... My husband and I both got the impression he thought I was an anxious female and didn't take me seriously. My question is the difference...
