Hello, My name is Tanya. I am 33, have 4 soon to be 5 kids. I started twitching July 17, 2010, so it's been about 8 months now. If you read BFS in a nutshell, this describes what I go through and have gone through to a T. It is exactly what happened to me. I have suffered from the occasional eyelid twitch for years now also the occasional temple twitch these would last for 1 week to 2 at the most. I was having this eyelid twitch again just before this July 17th. I had been experiencing it for a few weeks and it was really bad this time. The night of the 17th however, I realized that practically every muscle in my face was twitching and then I realized my whole body was. I jumped up in a panic and of course like so many others took to the internet and the rest is history, from then on I was high anxiety and caught in that cycle and of course the twitching got worse. I felt like I was having little siezures or something. It was probably about 1500 -2000 if not more, twitches a day. EVERYWHERE. Lips, both eyelids, nose, chin, cheeks, eyebrows, left eardrum, both temples, both ears, scalp, neck muscles, chest, shoulders, right side, abdomen, various back muscles, both thighs, both knees, calves, feet, toes, hands, fingers....LOL private areas. I am talking everywhere, If I haven't mentioned a spot, it's just because there are too many to mention, I bet I have twitched in every place possible. There was a lot of stress in my life at the time, husbands loss of job, moving 2 times in 8 months, big moves too, across the country. Finances along with the fact that I have always been a high anxiety person. Also, two weeks prior to July 17th. I had an incedent in walmart where I felt really weak, both lower legs and arms and felt like I was going to pass out. Don't know if this could have been some type of virus that led to the twitching. I also had been to the amusement park 6 times in like a month and a half and actually had thumbs go numb after one of the rides. (the rides these days are crazy) I have run out of room, but not done with my story. I would like to make some friends on here. Anyone live here in sunny southern california? Even if you do n't live near me, I just need to make friends with others that experience this. I will try and post the rest of my story tomorrow. Thanks for readingTanya
