Yes, I know this sounds stupid -- though the body involuntarily twitching is a stupid thing, too, wouldn't you say? -- but is it at all possible that BFS symptoms can be, if not caused, at least aggrivated by pets? (Perhaps some sort of allergic reaction, or something?) I say this, because the ONLY thing that I've noticed that virtually eliminates the twitching is going away for vacation. (And my vacations are not the relaxing, stress-free variety: either bicycle tours -- upwards of 100 miles/day -- or running around -- and to and from -- amusement parks.) First I thought it was due to eating different foods, or perhaps something in my water -- it tested out fine. The only other connection I could come up with is that I'm not with my dog then. Does this make any sense?
