Three Years with BFS

This week marks year 3 since BFS entered my life. (WOW it has really been 3 years....funny it turns out my neuro was right)I really don't have anything new to say that hasn't been said 1000 times before. I am posting this for those who are in the middle of the anxiety and fear. 3 years ago posts like these kept me going. I don't come this site very often anymore because i am scared, or don't care about BFS anymore.... I don''t come because I don't think about BFS much. Do i twitch? Sure maybe as much as ever, but it doesn't bother me nor does consume my thoughts. (However, i had been thinking about posting this week and that has lead to my legs going crazy with twitches....so i believe there is a mental connection to all of this) For those that are new, or those that still living in fear all i can say is time will heal. The faster you are able to move on with life and start living again the faster you will get over this. Do i mean you will stop twitching? No, i mean you will not focus on it, and move on to vastly more important things in your life. Simply put you will not care about this anymore. On a side note after 3 years i am back running and working out. I honestly never thought i would get back to this point, but I am. And i know you can get there also.Listen to the ventans on this site. They know what they are talking about. Especially the jedi of BFS known as Mario!!!Please read my updates over the years.
 
Awesome. Just read all your linked posts. Thank you so much.I'm about 20 months in, and am relatively stable with the whole BFS thing, except for when a new symptom pops up. Then, it's total regression for me (e.g., have had hand stiffness and pain, leading to "perceived weakness" which has ruined my week). But, it is so very helpful to hear about vets like yourself, knowing that you're very like-minded as me, and reassuring me of the benign nature of our twitching. At some point, I hope to be where you are. And, I love your appreciation of Mario in every annual check-in post!! We're lucky to have him as a fellow BFSer. Newbies, if you need a little laugh, look him up! Some of his posts had me laughing so hard in the beginning, and laughter is such good therapy!Mitra
