BFS Symptoms in Myself and Dad

[handjadensmith]

g.delalley:

I have similar problems with leg pain. For a while it seemed more on one side but it is now on both sides and in the arms, and pectoral regions as well. The calf ache and shin ache I know all too well. Coincidentally, or maybe not so much, my Dad has many similar complaints. He has arthritis, tendonitis, etc.
I am finding out that the BFS will cause a lot of these sensations, especially the buzzing. So do you have bfs? Tendonitis? Arthritis? Perhaps, but one thing is certain all of these complaints are far more prevelant than some of the awful diseases.
Also interestingly enough I have been twitching noticeably for about 7 months and I have been complaining about leg pain and numbness over the same period. I checked back on my medical records and although they weren't major complaints for me at the time, I had mentioned leg numbness and muscle spasms to a Dr. about 6 years ago as something I had noticed. I think many of us are in the same boat. I'd love to hear more from you.

Best,
John

The thing about my leg is that it comes and goes, I can go a few days feeling great and then a few days later I feel like my leg is going to fall off. Since it does come and go and when it goes I feel just fine, I am trying to believe that it should be fine. I think that the less I think about it the less I really notice it. On the days I feel fine, I am convinced that I am just fine, a strong and healthy woman. On the days it bothers me I tend to think not, but I try to look at my overall health and remember that people get aches and pains all the time. They just don't worry about it as much as we tend to.

Be strong, as you indicated you noticed some discomfort years ago and nothing has really come of it, has it? I have found that I can talk myself into a ton of crap very easily. I can put myself in a panic in a heartbeat. So, I am trying a different approach. If I can talk myself into it, I can talk myself out of it. So that is what I am trying to do. It is a everyday battle, but one I'd like to believe I am winning!

Sorry, John I really did not answer your question, do I have BFS or what.
I have no clue! And I am getting to the point that I don't care as long as it does not kill me or effect the quality of my life.

Like I said it comes and goes, I am suppose to see a neuro next month. My GP is sending me, to get me off her back. When I told her about all my funny things she said I was not describing anything that everyone has not felt at one time or another. I figure she went to school for 8 years and then a 4 year residence, so I should not try to diagnose myself off the internet! Which is what freaked me out in the first place!

Hang in there, and remember your not alone!
