Twitching for 8 Months

[irrationallyminded]

Hi guys,let me describe the style I twitch.It started in my left upper arm in Jan 2008. The outside muscle started to twitch for about 10 seconds with a frequency of 2 per second. It deceased when I moved my arm. So, the following shows how it is today after eight months of twichting. Note that I have low-twitching and high-twitching phases. That means sometimes I do not twitch for a couple of days and sometimes I am twitching alot. So the occurances in the following twitch patterns are related to high-twitching-phases. But, anyway I may be missing a lot of twitches or jerks since I am not always focusing on my body. So these describe when I am in the twitch-aware mode. But, it may be also possible that I twitch more in the twitch-aware mode than in the twitch-I-don't-care-mode.Okay, here is my style:OFTEN (may 10 per hour). I get random single-shot twitches all over the body. OFTEN (sometimes 10 per hour, then none for some hours). I get random multi-shot twitches with frequency between 2 per second, sometimes they slow down, get faster again. Alway, they decease when I move the associated muscles. I get those multi-shot twitches like mostly in the arms, thighs and calves. Seldom in the upper back or face. SELDOM (once a day). I get a buzz feeling somewhere (like a bee noise). Or a bubbling sensation below the skin.VERY SELDOM (every three days). From time to time, I get a jerk (a limb moves a little bit).Sounds like BFS?qwerqwer

sounds a lot like me! i will have days when i only twitch 20 times ( all different kind ) and days i will twitch more-- just having my first bout with buzzing today--i also have little tongue flickers...mine started in my calf-- for a few months-- then went to my neck-- then they went away ( well not away, they just became part of the rotation of all over twitches )

Sounds alot like BFS, and I would say at his point from your description, is fairly mild. But what you describe is all to familiar to us on this board. If it ramps up, do not worry, that is also very typical of BFS

Thanks for your answers!On the BFS in a nutshell page, he says that BFS usually has hot spots (days or longer constant twitching). Is this a "must have" feature of BFS or are there BFSers without hot spots? Is it fine not having hot spots and still to be a BFSer? I don't have hot spots, I never had. Regardsqwer

i think hotspots are either spots that stay for a few days or spots that continually seem to be the ones that twitch-- that is my interpretation....someone elses may be different. sure, you can have bfs without hotspots.
