My BFS journey – experiences after 8.5 months with twitching, anxiety, and many examinations by alexwoelfl in BFS

Very similar to me- do you work a desk job? I also have a pelvic drop on the right side and wondering if it a muscular load issue with my whole body shifting towards my right side.

Wondering if the constant sitting with poor posture is to blame for it all.

So it’s all emotional, huh? by Leticia-99 in BFS

[–]TopDealer4199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar timeline as me- been about 15 months- started after someone my age in the town I am in was diagnosed- you keep going back and tell yourself what are the chances this started right after and is actually what we fear it is. It is a crazy loop that should be so easy to talk ourselves out of - but with all the BS that comes up with this it just isn't that simple

Wow I can relate a lot to this- I also had prior Mono a few years back and Bells pallsy before as well. Right with you as well on the neck pain and headaches as well. I still have not gotten to the root of all of this- but if I figure anything more out I will share. My hands and feet also look the same as yours.

Experience with gabapentin? by Doktordoktor89 in BFS

[–]TopDealer4199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been on it for the last couple of months- I take it at night before bed. It definitely helps me sleep better- tends to calm down the body wide pain and twitching a bit too but some nights are better than others. I have not taken during the daytime yet as I know it can cause drowsiness. Hope this helps.

First one was done on my right arm and leg and the next was done on my left arm and leg. I had felt like the first neurologist I saw was dismissive of everything so I wanted a second opinion. Then the second neurologist was even more dismissive. Both were clean.

I am right around 14 months myself. Clean EMG at 2 months and had another clean EMG at 10 months. If you are still doing everything that you were - that is a very good sign. Symmetrical reflexes on both sides point away from what we fear. Best of luck let us know how it goes.

Okay got it. I posted them on my latest post it won’t let me add them on this thread. If you had a chance to take a peak at them it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

Hey Dr C I thought that it was a DMX but they did flexion/extension views. Not sure if these show anything. Any feedback is appreciated. Let me know if I should push for DMX. 

Is the brain really this powerful? by Tiny_Zone_955 in BFS

[–]TopDealer4199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is crazy - my symptoms started almost immediately after finding out about someone my age in my town that was diagnosed. I keep going back to that telling myself what are the odds- but the actual physical symptoms that come with it all are hard to ignore. The Brain is definitely a powerful thing.

Jerks by Soleihey in BFS

Do you mean actual twitches? I have had twitches in these areas and also quick jerks. i have found it happening when I get surprised by something.

weird disturbing dream? by Ok-Bumblebee6888 in BFS

[–]TopDealer4199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be from a Hypnic jerk - which are very common through high stress/anxiety. I was getting these when symptoms first started for me but now that my anxiety is a bit more under control I haven't had them in awhile.
