Good Morning Linxminx:
Your plea has been heard.

) It seems like you are more concerned with Fibromyalgia than BFS; do you twitch. Yes I know, we are a shamelessly bigoted lot and are prejudiced against any who don't fasciculate.

I have not had the snapping joint issue although there are quite a few here who have. I also do not really suffer from joint pain, thank goodness, so I am perhaps no help to you there.
What is interesting is that our body responds to the same thing in a myriad of ways. Stress for example can cause any number of health complaints, not least of which may be BFS. You suffer from health anxiety and so your body is reaching out to you to say, "hey, linxy whats up." I know that before I got BFS that I twitched once in awhile. Once the pressures of my life built to a head the twitching became the conduit for this pressure, an escape valve if you will. Of course, at the time I didn't see it like that, I thought I was dying. This is not to say that it is all in our heads. The body and the mind are so intertwined as to make them inseparable. However, I believe that if we can deal with the mind issues that we have a much better chance at having the physical symptoms abate.
In our so called modern day we have less time for ourselves than we ever did. Despite all our great inventions to make life easier it has become more complicated and busy. How ironic.

The magic in life is as it always was, that is the recognition of life as magnificent and that the world we inhabit is a miralce of nature, God......! You were not shunned on purpose but rather the good people here were unsure how to respond to your queries. I, for one, welcome you my fellow earth traveller and look forward to further posts.
Cheers,
Basso
