Yes, it is BFS.

You are fine...your worrying is making your symptoms worse too!

I think you mean EMG, not EEG.

Now when i rubb my thigh my foot tingles,ear drum twiches and my als looking leg fasics just dont stop,help! has this happened to anyone else?

An EEG is an electro-encephelogram and it's used to measure brain activity. It is placed on the skull like a stocking hat. I've had the ear drum twitches, buzzing, and such as well. Nothing to worry about, you should really stop worrying about this, you've had these symptoms for three years. I've had mine for over a year and I've accepted the twitching and haven't been to a doctor.

My calves hurt,thousands of twitches a day on the back of both legs ,look like als twitches small fine bag of worms ripling,on feet too.tingling,buzzing ear twitches,joint twitches,im getting called twitch by my family.Heaviness on calves when exercising,twiches under my ears and neck come and go,funny pressure under left foot,rubbing thigh makes my foot tingle, im falling to bits.Had ear tests for ear nerve, muscle and ear functionality,all were normal ,just the rest of me needs checking but my emg is months away i still need reassurance anyone.

[Can bag of worm looking fasics be benign,everywhere i read they say they are the maliginant variety,mine look bag of worms on calves and archilles but oridinary everywere else?anyone else had these,i know im a worrier.

when i had them in the arches of my foot they looked like that, also sometimes on my calves. i've had it seven years. you can't tell by just looking at them, and "bag of worms" is a very subjective term. you might think that's what your'e seeing when it isn't what they mean.
