How do Twitches Diminish?

[CyberSpectr]

I'd just like to ask all the people who have beaten this: how do the twitches go away/diminish? Do they just stop? Do they slowly peter out? Do they get smaller? What actually happens?I can't be sure what's happening, but I'm definitely getting smaller, less prominent and less frequent twitches. I still get them every few seconds in my calves, but that's come down from multiple twitches every second. I hardly get them in the feet, and I used to get them there multiple times as second as well. Less around the body as well, although I didn't get them that much to begin with. So how did it stop/go away for you guys? I'm just wondering if this progression is in line with someone in remission? I've only had this thing close on six weeks, but I've managed to control the anxiety part of my brain to the extent that I'd say I've cured myself of believing in the bad diseases. Now, I'm hoping as a result that my symptoms are improving Cheers!

I'm really, really hoping you're going into remission...but I have to warn you that the same thing happened to me. Once my anxiety calmed about the whole thing, my twitching lessened. What I have found, though, in the past two years is a total waxing and waning of my symptoms. They have definitely fluctuated and changed for me. I even keep a BFS diary of sorts to give a numeric value to my symptoms on a daily basis to see if I could figure out why they would flare when they did. Still haven't figured that one out, except for some very obvious things (lack of sleep, major stress).I just don't want you to be disappointed if you have a flare-up, because that tends to be the pattern of this crazy disorder we have.And, again, I'm crossing my fingers that you will are tapering out and will be done with this stuff.Mitra

The problem with your post is that most of the feedback you seek (from people who have recovered LONGTERM) will not be seen. Those who have been "cured" leave the forum and move on with life for the most part. Those of us who've been around for years have a good feel because old timers pop in from time to time to give advice and report their status. For the most part, eventually people report a reduction of symptoms combined with just not noticing them to a point where there is ZERO impact on their lives (which is where I've been at for years now). Mostly, the solution is reduction of anxiety and just moving on with life. Just be patient, and don't be discouraged if your symptoms flare up from time to time. You are on the right track.
