Hi! I have had BFS for 16 months now and after a relatively 'calm' winter, my twitches are exploding, just as they were last summer. My feet have always been a hot spot and are pretty much going 24/7 but I am now starting to twitch and pop all over again. I am also experiencing cramping in the ankles and lower limbs, which I haven't experienced since last summer. Does anyone else notice an increase in symptoms in the warmer months? This sudden spike of symptoms is worrying me. :(
 
Hi dear,I was used to cramp much more in summer, as far as I remember. Try to drink more water, in my case it had helped a lot.as for reactivity to heat and humidity, looks like BFS people are sensitive to both extreme heat and cold.
 
My own experience is that mine are related to problems with circulation and lack of Mg (MgB6course helps me a lot). You could check if MgB6 also would help you.
 
Nope, no significant change of diet. I believe that there is a direct link with the heat and humidity and yes, running in these conditions. I also recently got back from a busy and tiring trip in a very hot place. Fatigue is definitively another known trigger. The cramping got me googling ( :mad: ) and then of course I read things that I shouldn't have. Thanks for the support!
 
ah, crampin in a hot and humid environment is so common...do not worry! take a good rest, plenty of water and maybe Mg.
 
I run 2-3 5k per week. I have done this for years. My monthly goal for total miles ran is u guessed it...26.2 which is easily obtained most months. However, my running is on a treadmill in 68 degree constant temp..no high heat situations and no cars going by to run me over. I have had muscle twitching since April and am still experimenting on what causes/reduces/or increases my symptoms. I say its ok to keep exercising but may try taking it indoors during the hot weather months.
 
Also wanted to add that all my electrolytes/labs are good and in check that my neurologist has checked. I am still working on staying generally better hydrated.
