Well I thought things were looking up since my twitching was down. Well last night I developed a twitch in my right thigh, and it will not stop. Doesn't matter if I get up and walk around, or what I do it will not stop. Constant pulsating twich, every couple of seconds. Anyone else experience this?
 
Hey Don, I've had the thigh twitch, dont worry about it, seriously. Mine lasted for a couple of weeks then went off to another place. Then a couple months after, it came back to visit that spot again. Then it left again. It has no significance, none at all. Remenber, weakness, you dont have any. Your good. :D) Hot spots are very common with BFS, and this twitch will eventually move on, then you will be posting about another twitch location, but after you have done this a few times, you will see the pattern and realize that its all BFS, and a very common story here on the board. You'll get there, dont worry, then you'll be giving support to someone who needs it :D) Take CareRobynn :D)
 
thanks robynn. This is just my first constant one and I have been twitching for almost 5 months. i was always telling myself at least I didn't have any constant ones. no this one has been going all day like a heart beat. It's right in the front on the top of my left thigh. I have had ones that stuck around for a few hours and were reaccurent in that spot, but none that just would not stop even if I moved the muscle. This is a new one for me, and it's kind of nerve racking.
 
Its not a big deal Don, seriously, dont let this one get to you and ruin your day. It will pass. I had a bad one under my ribcage a few days ago that was contant and it thumped big time, that one kind of was freaky because it actually was twitching so hard and fast that it was jerking at my ribcage. I know it sucks, but its really nothing that should make you worry more, I promise. It will pass. :D)
 
This one is bothering me. It won't stop. Every couple of seconds....thump......thump. It moves the whole muscle at the top front of my leg. This is the first time I have had one that will not stop. The other would at least stop for a while then come back later. This has been constant all day. And of course now i have read on medhelp that fasciculations in ALs are more pron to be widespread and diffuse, and appear mostly in the thighs, arms and back. I have never been a calf twitcher like most of you (I don't get them there), mine have always been in my thighs, arms and back. Now they have settled into my right thigh.
 
I can guarantee you that 100% of the people here have or have had a constant thigh twitch. Just give it a week. In seven days you'll be obsessing over some other twitch.
 
I understand that it is freaking you out, but pay special notice to how no one else is responding to this thread. That's because most BFSers understand how common this is. A thigh twitch means absolutely nothing, other than you have BFS and it is in your thighs at the moment. There really isn't much more I can say about it.
 
Don, I had the constant thigh twitch for two weeks non stop in top of my left thigh. I even posted about it not long ago. Take it from me and everyone else, it will move somwhere else soon and you will forget about it to obsess about the new one. That is exactly the way BFS works. I always get the sustained twitches in different parts of my body and even though I think they won't they eventually do stop.And I thought I was the only one with thigh twitches...Mary
 
After 15 straight hours....it has subsided for the last 30 minutes. I really had a long talk with God and asked for his help, then it stopped. I have read other who have said this, but this whole situation has gotten me going to church again, and praying (usually praying for others not myself). Thanks to all who have helped. Tomorrow is another day, and hopefully I will see more improvement with this new constant twitch (although as I said it has stopped for now, thanks to prayer!)
 
Congratulations, you got 15 posts. Feel better? Not really, do you. Well, the prayer made you feel better, and that's great, but all the posts of "there, there" are really just enabling you to stay stuck. You thought I was being sarcastic, and I was, but I'm just not buying into your negative spin on thing. Your reaching out with prayer is the first positive thing I've read from you. You already know it's bfs and if you need to keep getting people to rally around you for every little twitch then it's time to kick your own ass. You want to feel better, don't you? You see, I don't care if you like me, or not. I'm an anonymous person on the net, and so I'm no one in the scheme of your life, and you're no one in mine. But, that doesn't mean I can't recognize more a pattern of wanting attention than really wanting help. You hardly respond at all to honest to goodness help. You probably aren't sure how to respond, because it goes against your mandate of feeling sorry for yourself.Yeah, whatever, I'm a bast-ard, but I've seen a few hundred "NervousnessNoMore" on here. It doesn't mean I don't believe in you, I do, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered posting to you before. But, I can now see you aren't one of those people who needs cajoling, or a gentle touch, you need to get your game on; find your mojo, again. Do you want to rock in this life or suck, the way you describe yourself? Your choice.Basso
 
Well this is were Basso is going to not like me so much anymore. But I have to disagree with his approach on this one. We have all been where you are at Don, and you are still knew to these symptoms and patterns with BFS, so of coarse you are going to experience some things that freak you out, its normal. And thats why this site is here, to come and share and get support.Hell it took me 5 or 6 months of sharing and arguing with some people and getting support from others before I started to calm down, because I sure as hell wasnt getting *beep* from my neuro. But the fact is, that the support I recieved from here and the reassurance that what I was experiencing was normal for BFS, thats what helped me get calmed down and able to look at things another way.Now I dont believe that anxiety should be pampered too much, but I do understand that when people are new to these symptoms, it doesnt take much to push them into a really dark place that they may not be able to find there way back from. These symptoms can be scary to someone who doesnt know what to expect. So if you have a symptom, post about it, it not only helps you get feedback and reassurance but it helps the history of this site for other newbies that join and read the archives, which I have found very helpful on my journey back from the dark side.So my opinion is, if your worried than post, dont hold *beep* in because that will do wayyyy more damage than good. And if praying helps, than pray, whatever you have to do to cope is better than hanging out with Dr. Google and letting him convince you that you are dying with some horrible disease.Like I said, thats what this board is for, not to be condemned for being scared of something you havnt had enough time to fully understand yet. But of coarse this is just my opinion, and I've been haggled with a few times on this board, but there is help and support here, but sooner or later, you have to take charge of your anxiety, or it will destroy you and everything you love, trust me on that one.Take Care Don, and keep posting when you need support or reassurance.Robynn :D) P.S. Go ahead Basso, let me have it. ;)
 
Basso and Robynn...I love you both! You are both wonderful help! And Basso, you do too care about us all.....you like us, you really like us...... :D) You both took a great amount of time with this post and said it perfectly for all of us. Now, to you, Don, keep praying, go do something fun, and realize you are surrounded with a dsyfunctional website family that will both kick you in your a-ss when needed and then calm you back down!!! :LOL:
 
well it is 3:30am and I am up. why? the twitching came back and I can't sleep. Basso I am sorry you think so poorly of me. I am really trying to deal with this. those who ahve talked to me know that. This is a 1st for me, and it's very scary to have a twitch that won't stop for the first time. I don't want to feel this way, but I am scared.
 
Don, I am still up as well I am fininshing up some payroll stuff for my company. Now I want to let you know and please believe me when I say these sustained twitches are all a part of BFS. Yes they are annoying and yes I have them all the time. For the last few weeks I have been getting them in my jaw of all places. My very first one 13 months ago was in the corner of my mouth and it went non stop for two weeks. After that it was a shoulder twitch for a week non stop. Than and abdomen twitch for 2 weeks non stop. Lateley in this past few months it has been in my chest, in my upper thigh, in my chin and in my scalp and lips and now my jaw. I have had several hot spots. I also have a neuro who says to ignore them and live my life without weakness and atrophy they donl' mean anything. I finally had an emg about a month ago which did convince me I don't have als but that was my idea not the drs.. Believe me if they say its bfs its bfs. I know these seem scary at first but believe me one day soon they will just be plain annoying. You will notice them but they will not scare you anymore. It takes a while though because they still annoy the heck out of me. Just try to relax and tell yourself that it is all a part of this and like Mario said next week you will be focusing on a new twitch somewhere else. I hope this has helped and you can try to sleep because lack of sleep only makes them worse. If you ever have any questions please feel free to pm me anytime because I truly do get many many sustained twitches and all I can say when I get them is, well here I go again! I will keep you in my prayers as well. Mary
 
well it stopped around 4am, then I fell asleep, when I woke it it had started again. I got up walked around, and it stopped again. it has been stopped for about an hour now. Hopefully this means this hotspot area is beggining to leave.
