8 Months of Twitching-BFS Diagnosis

Hi Stallion,
I can seincerely empathize with your symptoms since mine are quite similar. I have numbness on and off in my arms/legs - and especial in my fingers and toes. Some last for minutes, others for months.
Also, when I first began to twitch (around January 05') - I of course found symptoms of **S on the internet, went a lil nuts and began thoroughly inspecting the size of my arms and legs, poking at the muscles - and comparing limbs with family members & friends (they were to patient and good with me
) - convincing myself that I am "soft" now where I once had firmer muscle - that it has desintegrated. The truth is that I never really payed attention to or memorized what my muscles actually felt like, to my anxiety and paranioa led me to believe that my muscles were disapperaing - it was not really happening. Also, when we do not exercise even for a couple of weeks (maybe due to preoccupation and stress over health stuff) - the muscle might not feel as hard).
I hope that this helps.
Tanya
