FREDERICK, Why do you post like MAARTEN? (apologies but........every one of your questions are near the same and follows something another user has posted and been concerned about. ) NO! WEAKNESS IS WEAKNESS. PAIN, HURTING IS NOT WEAKNESS. BFS comes in many ways. Cramps too! Benign Benign is Benign. You said you've seen a neuro? IF not just please do so. It helps eleviate a lot of fears BUT you have to believe your neuros and stay off the merry go round. Trust me I KNOW. I wish I just STOPPED before today- but today I ran out and got my EMG report so I could have some clarity and clarity I have now.I posted it as well so people can use it against me and just see how detailed they really are and how much the neuro's DO LOOK FOR. You dont just get the "beginning of weakness"..you just "CANT DO IT!"Best Wishes,Lovely
