Uncommon BFS Symptoms Discussion

Highlights Only
No to the itching and yes to the rest...except maybe the tremors...not sure if that is like a twitch or shaking. I getting twitching in facial muscles. I was told by my therapist that this stuff was due to my anxiety. I can't say for sure its BFS related.

Well I didnt put those in the survey because I already knew a good portion of us have had or still have those symptoms. This survey was to see how many of us share some of the symptoms that dont get talked about as much or brought up as much as some of the more common complaints. I am however thinking about putting a smaller survey together because I have gotten a few PM's with some asking why I didnt list this symptoms or that symptom, so apparently I missed a couple, sorry for that. I'll be putting another one together over the next day or two and post it rite after, hope you all will be just as willing to take that one as well.Take care everyone, and thank you for your time and suggestions as well.Robynn :D)
