Help us to determine what remedies and drugs work best to alleviate BFS symptoms. The survey can be reached by the below link. It is easy to fill out and we will compute mathematical models and statistics from the data that we will share with everyone. You will be anonymous. This is a follow up to my post "Can Math Help us Solve BFS". We currently have 11 respondants. We will need a lot more to get a good sample size. Thank you to the administrators of this site for helping me make this questionnaire / survey.
 
We only have had 14 people complete the survey to data (a good start), but I took the liberty to upload some results on Google docs. We need to find another way to share the information, Google docs distorts the information and eliminates information including all the data plots. It also has some document size issues. The first doc provides some statistic definitions, the second doc contains some general statistics on the twitching and the feet variable (each question answered in the questionnaire is a variable). The 3rd file is a model about BFS and how it affects our body parts. This is a bad model for a number of reasons, I will have to think more about this topic, but it gives you some information - but without the plots it is not very visual.If you want to view the complete document (all the data plots and information omitted on Google Docs) you can pull them down from my website: If your computer wants to download the .zip version simply choose save and overwrite .zip with .xlsx or as docx (for the statistic definition file). Under BFS Questionnaire Results there are three files. The first is the data in the model (the result of 14 respondents to date). The second is the statistical analysis run on a few variables (each question is a variable). There are six tabs on this Excel file and each one represents a statistical analysis on one variable (years diagnosed, twitching, feet, benzo, and day). The last tab on this file, body activity, is an example of a model run on the data. The model is not good but it gives us a good idea what one looks like. This is just to show what can be created from the data. These are merely examples. When we get enough data, I will do a better job summarizing the results. The third file is a Word document that gives some definitions of the statistical tests being performed. I tried to place this same information on Google Docs (the links above), but it distorts the files and omits important information.
