Lewis,I can tell you with 100% certainty that what you are describing is NOTHING MORE THAN BFS. Your symptoms are exactly what I experience. I've been checked by two of the top facilities in the country and they have told me what everyone else's neuros told them.... this IS benign. The fact that its all over, you can trigger them, they get worse when stressed, etc... those are even more proof that what you have is nothing more than a benign hyperexciteable condition. I'm with you Lewis, hang in there. Please don't waste any time worrying about them, that will only make it worse. You're going to be ok. -MattP.S. There is a great chat room filled with people all over the world who share your symptoms. Its a great place to talk with people who can help reassure you. Here is the link if interested....

Lewis,I can tell you with 100% confidence that your symptoms will increase, sometimes dramatically, when you undergo a period of stress. I recently went through this myself. I had been constantly improving until a very stressful event happened. This in turn increased my anxiety, which increased my symptoms. When my symptoms increased, I then began to have anxiety about the flare in symptoms. It can turn into a vicious cycle if you're not careful. Stress is nearly impossible to avoid and therefore you WILL experience these flares, the important thing is to not let the increased symptoms cause you to go into panic thinking there is something more sinister at work in your body. Everyone I have spent time visiting with on this site will tell you the same, that their BFS is very closely tied to anxiety and is made much worse by things like stress, illness, and exercise.
