... it started in 1989, and since then, I have been twitching every minute, every hour, every day. It's NOT easy to live with (no it's véry hard, but I learnt to live with it. I mean, I get crazy about it, especially when I have a "hotspot" for days or weeks, I want to jump out of my window because I go completely crazy.God bless you all. Everybody had got something that they have to try to live with. Is there anyone who has had it also already for more than 20 years???Regards
 
Maybe...If eye twitches only count....I think you've got the record among the people that still post on this board. Twitching should be part of your life by now!
 
I had a patient come to see me today for advice about calf cramps - he's in his mid 70s. I was examining his legs and noticed that he had quite marked bilateral calf fasciculation. I asked him about it and he said that he'd had it for about 25 years. He had never thought much about it because it is nothing more than a nuisance. He said he also gets it in his thighs but not elsewhere. Before I developed BFS myself, it wouldn't have occurred to me to look for fasciculation in patients reporting cramp but over the past 18 months, since I developed BFS, I have routinely done this and have come across a handful of other people who have twitched quite severely for many years but who have never bothered to talk to a doctor about it.RegardsSimon
 
As my own GP said about my feet-twitches: "You probably had them all the time, but you just didnt notice them". And when I think back, I tend to think that I actual had them since my teens. That funnny feeling... Making them 20 years old... Unfortunately they started moving my finger from side to side 3 years ago, making me an AALS-wreck for a year or two. (AALS: Afraid of ALS). :( Why wasnt I born in 1810 instead? So much simpler (and deadly - so who really cared). :LOL:
