Family Twitching: Concerned Parent

[Emilyomouse]

I have twitched for about a year, my wife started twitching 5-6 months ago. Today my wife said that my 6 year old got scared 2 nights this week and said it was because she was shaking. I talked to her and checked her out. What she described seems to be leg tremors of short duration( seconds to minutes). Man I am really concerned. Has anyone gone through this with the family. Me= weird. Me and wife= very, very coincidental, me, wife and daughter= okay whats going on. ( my daughter has no idea that I twitch and have nerve issues). We're taking her in to the dr but at this point I don't know wether to look at a virus or decon my home or move. I'm exagerating a bit but I'm really concerned

Hey,You are not alone, now i know we will never get answers and that it's not anxiety, my girlfriend started twitching 4 months after me, and there are other people on this forum that "passed" BFS to their close ones, sensory issues and all -the problem is:1. BFS is considered in the mayo study as caused by a common virus that infects the nerves in predisposed people but you and your wife are not genetically related.2. BFS is considered to be autoimmune in other studies, autoimmune disease is not transmittable, unless autoimmune disease is caused by infectious agents and until today none have been found consistently. Or you and your wife are both autoimmune-predisposed, considering 5% of population are, your chances are 0.01% to be both susceptible, in order for "something" to trigger bfs in all the family...Which leaves mass hysteria, you twitch and complain and your close ones pick up on it in subconsciously to get attention... yeah, i know, i don't buy this one either.If you have some microbiologist friend or some researcher close to your family, please get them to check you or at least ask their opinion on what's to be done. If you go with this info to the docs they can't do anything and they won't. I think we are onto something here like the people in lyme connecticut, swollen joints with no reason the only problem is that all neighbors had it, that's how they discovered lyme disease. If you get somebody to check you i can also come with my girlfriend to give blood or whatever, we live in the netherlands. This is not normal, and it's not lyme disease at least in our case. You live near a forest or close to heavily wooded areas? Are you exposed to pesticides/herbicides, organophosphates? Everybody, please give your input on this, this is not consistent with either anxiety or autoimmune and points to infectious or toxic factors, or less likely nutritional ... The problem is everybody noticed a delayed onset in their family members, wich is strange, if it was infectious you should get it at roughly the same time...
