At the beginning of my twitching, I felt weak all over; it seemed that one week I was doing pilates and nothing, the next week, my legs and body were shaky holding the positions. From what I have read this is PRETTY COMMON FOR BFS . . . I stopped doing pilates and reverted to my favorite sport of running and also strength tests like push ups and all the other A word tests I could think of, or come up with on the internet, like walking down stairs backwards, pizza box hold, getting up off the floor wo use of arms, grip tests, etc. and have never had difficulty w/ any of them . . . yet, amen.
Oh, LOL, I have had many a night doing the exact same test. Never tried or heard of the pizza box one though, care to describe, LOL. I just went out in the hallway here and walked up and down the stairs to make sure I still could without holding the rail, and then I came down on my toes backwards, LOL, you must have read the same article I did.

Last winter I had a feeling of tired arms and legs. They were just heavy. I was tired and just wanted to lay on the couch and feel sorry for myself. I have convinced myself many times that I have weakness and really felt weak. My brain just loves to play tricks on me. It has been over a year for me and I have a new twitch today that is putting me into a panic. It is between my thumb and forefinger. It is actually making my finger move. I have totally freaked myself out. After that tired heavy feeling I started my antidepressants again and felt much better. Sometimes we get in so deep that we need a hand out of that hole. Prestiq and Klonopin did wonders for me. Now I am on Wellbutrin and Klonopin(up to .5, was at 1/2 that). My new insurance just sucks and the Prestiq is too expensive. The Wellbutrin is not doing the trick this time, but I just have to keep telling myself that this is not something serious. I have three kids and get so grumpy when I am having a flare up. I have read some of your other posts and I would really agree that some meds might help take the worries down a notch. We only have the moment we are living in and why make it so miserable. I am telling myself that too!
