Haven't been on here for a while.I still twitch. In fact, I am twitching more often than is my norm these past few weeks. There is one twitch that is beside my left eye that is quite persistent. A few months ago I started getting sudden but short-lived pains in my hands and feet, they kind of went away for while but I am getting some hand pains today again. Not exactly a cramp, my hand doesn't seize up and the pain isn't intense, just a sudden sharp pain for a few seconds, it comes and goes - anyone get these?that's about it really, I could list 100 symptoms here that I have had, that I thought were weird and ominous and then gradually faded away. The funny thing is when I am busy or occupied the symptoma either disappear or carry zero impact.I have been twitching for so long now, over half my life, that I really should let go of the fear, but there is still sometimes tiny little doubts at the back of my mind when I get a new twitch somewhere or new symptom. But Iam fairly sure this is health anxiety/OCD and that's what needs to be treated.I don't really have an urgent need to discover what causes BFS, I had it for many many years without giving it a second thought, a few twitches here and there, so what?Only after googling did my terror start and it also made me more aware of my symptoms, more aware of my body, more obsessed about everything and generally pretty miserable. I think I am through the worst of it though, the physical symptoms of BFS, for me at least, are rarely too troublesome. It's the mental side of things we have to deal with, and for me that has proven to be a tougher challenge. Keeping busy, realising that symptoms in deadly diseases don't come and go and retraining your mind so that it opts out of the vicious cycle are most effective in my case
 
Classic BFS symptoms and you have had them for years .It's BFS nothing more .I have all your symptoms and just starting out with it , getting on my nerves but like you I won't let it bother me physically .Mentally is the toughest , read the stickys on the board they are great with fantastic advice .All the best Spider
 
I have pains (like shooting one) and cramps in hands and espesially in feet and calves, but I am crampy girl for years and years. I found Mg+B6 helps me.
 
I have recently been getting those shooting pains in my hands and feet as well, they hurt! They last for a couple of seconds and come and go not really doing anything particular when they hit they just happen. I also have been getting the muscle aches in my legs and arms pretty bad lately as well. Not really any cramping associated with them, just they are achy like when you have the flu or something after I have been doing stuff with my muscles. I hope you feel better, but please know it seems lots of us have these shooting pains as part of BFS :D)
 
this twitch just to the left of my left eye is getting really annoying....I have had hotspots before but this one is leading the way, it is not 24/7 but it is happening constantly throughout the day and hard to ignore - I started getting twitches in this area, just at the outside of the eye a few months ago but they are happening more and more now, usually my twitches are more random in nature but in this area, for whatever reason, they are consistent and seem to be happening more, anyone had a twitch on the edge of their eye, the kind of small twitches that move the muscles of the side of your eye socket rather than the eye itself. These ones are hard to just ignore, have been twitching for a long time but have had more in my face area in the last year or so than ever - really annoying, still get twitches in other parts of body at normal frequency rates i.e. not that manyit's hard for me to write it off as stress/anxiety or computer use or allergies or lack of sleep when i have had twitches for so longmaybe that's another problem for bfsers, distinguishing between our regular bfs twitches and twitches that maybe are caused by other stufflike everything else with bfs, i hope this twitch either gradually fades away in time or I just grow more accepting of it so that it becomes less of a nuisance/headwrecker
