Happy birthday to me,
I was in a mess,
one year I've been a twitchin'
but it's just BFS!
Well here it is at last, my first milestone, a year of olympic quality twitching . I said I was going to twitch off into the sunset when this day came but I think I'll hang around in the background for a while and just chip in occasionally. This place saved me, I've said thank you before to whoever started this site but I'd like to say a profound thank you again, I was rescued from the depths of despair when I happened upon this place and I can never be greatful enough. I hope I've helped some people since I arrived here last November, I just wanted to give something back to this valuable resource.
So one year on and how are things now compaired to when this all started... Well from an innocent finger an thumb twitch to major crisis actually took 5 months. When my finger and thumb twitch went on for weeks I google twitching but didn't concern myself with **S. It wasn't until I started noticing my calves twitching that I started getting a bit worried and then things sort of snowballed. I noticed my body would shake when I leant over, my legs and arms started feeling clumsy, I'd wake up in the night with buzzing throughout my body, I started getting fatigued easily, my hands felt un co-ordinated, my chin, eye, lips started twitching, my lip and chin was going numb and tingling. I started to think I had *S but didn't Google it. I went to Canada to work for 6 weeks and decided to just ignore it and worry about it all when I got back to the UK. While I was away I was twitching more than ever, I could see my calves bubbling away, my insteps popping and my big toe wiggling around and cramping feet. I decided to investigate muscle twitching some more and still ignoring **S I concentrated on calcium and magnesium deficiency and started taking suppliments with no real improvement. Returning to the UK and feeling terrible I Googled again but this time decided to read all about **S. Oops! big mistake. I was convinced I was doomed and hit rock bottom. To cut a long story short, thank god I stumbled across this site. So here I am one year later, alive and kicking, twitching 75% less, with good days and bad days and a lot of my symptoms have either improved or become such a familiar part of my life I don't hardly give them a second thought. My symptoms improved dramatically once I stopped worrying.
So what can I say to anyone who is scared and has just found this site? read BFS in a nutshell, realise you are fine and what you have is BFS, go to a doctor and get a check up for peace of mind . Don't spend time looking for trouble on the internet, hang out on here intead where you can find some of the nicest human beings who understand where you are now and will help you live again.
Peace and love Morris_M
