Anxiety About ALS Despite BFS Diagnosis

[BarbiePetals]

Ya know, after reading this board for 2 years I have learned something. Everyone on here is or has experienced all the same symptoms as everyone else. We have all had the same tests been to all the big neuro's and have all been told the same thing. It's funny cause when you go back and read the archives even as far back as 2003, they are the same things that are said today. This is a real condition that comes along with fear but after awhile you just have to learn to deal with the twitches and start enjoying your life.

Yep, that's what people have been saying about this site for nearly 10 years. The arguments don't change, only the names change. Meanwhile the people who get tired of BFS just move on and go obsess about something else.It actually is kind of amusing if you go back and read through the archives (which is the very first thing I did when I joined this site). It's hard to take "shocking new BFS developments!!!!" seriously when you know they were already discovered two years ago (and four years ago, and six years ago, and eight years ago, etc) and are bound to be discovered again in two years (and four years, and six years, etc). This site has always sort of been like a mobius strip like that. I honestly doubt people have talked about anything new on this board in more than six years.
