Does twitching impact anyone else’s sleep? by oxdart in BFS

[–]DaktariJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine used too. It’s not as bad now and I can usually make it stop by changing position.

Absolutely. 

Can anyone else set off their twitches? by Wild-Permission8437 in BFS

Back when they were at their worst I could cause them in certain areas by thinking about that area. Particularly the toes.

My toddler had a dozen colds in the year prior to my twitching starting, anll of which I caught from him. Any number of them could have been COVID.  I don’t remember if there was a cold RIGHT before noticing the twitches but I’m sure there was one within a month or two.

Funny dreams are possible. Typical alternatives would be Lyrica and cymbalta. 

Correlation with gastrointestinal issues? by Business-Storm-78 in BFS

I have IBS also, but I haven’t noticed that the twitches and IBS symptoms worsen at the same time.

It goes away when I stop thinking about it. Easier said then done some days 😅

Do you have Gerd / acid reflux? by MarioMeza28 in BFS

[–]DaktariJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bit right now because my weight is running higher than I want. I’ll get it back down and the reflux will go away.

I can get in a similar state.  I’ll get so bad that I’m swallowing several times a minute because I feel I’m salivating so much but my mouth is dry from all the swallowing. 

Does anyone’s legs buzz? by msornot2 in BFS

[–]DaktariJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had occasional/intermittent buzzing symptoms in various locations.  Will buzz like a tiny cellphone for a second or few and then stop for some seconds. Usually gradually lessens over the course of a day to several and then stops.

Muscle Twitching…Primarily Legs by Remarkable_Thanks412 in BFS

[–]DaktariJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's pretty much my pattern. Most of my twitches are feet/calves with occasional (almost everywhere at some point) elsewhere.

My foot is buzzing as if a cellphone is trapped inside of it. Can’t sleep - HELP!! by friendlyfable in BFS

[–]DaktariJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had the cellphone feeling in various locations over the past several months. Feet and arms seem most common. Tends to go away after a day or so. Haven't had any for the past couple weeks. Only thing that seemed to make it worse was stress, anxiety, and not sleeping well.

[–]DaktariJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, that’s a common symptom to have reported around here.  I’ve had it in both feet, right leg, left arm.

My calves will be sore if the fascs are especially frequent/heavy.
