Hey,
Like all of us it took some months to convince ourselves that what we have is BFS and only BFS. The beginning is hell, but once your anxiety level goes down you'll get into a routine and not think about it so much. This takes time however. I've had BFS for nearly a year and its just recently that I have come to terms with this condition. The one positive thing out of this experience is that the things I used to worry about in the past are completely meaningless right now. Not only that, BFS is nothing compared to what other people are going through regarding thier health. I'm not saying everyone should do this (particularly when anxiety is at high levels), but if you ever walk through a hospital like Sloane-Kettering in nyc and look in the eyes of the patients, you'll be thanking the almighty for only getting BFS. I happened to visit this hospital with a friend a few months ago to see a relative and it was a big time wake up call for me as far as worrying about benign twitches. If you think about it, everyone in the world is constantly worrying about something. For us it became BFS. But I can say now that the amount of anxiety I had at the beginning of this ordeal took alot out of me in many aspects of life and it simply wasn't worth it. BFS stinks, but LIFE is precious...really precious and we need to take advantage of the bright things it has to offer. Good luck to you and all you BFS comrades.
