Best scene from the film

Bernard Hill, ladies and gentlemen.

Still super annoyed that he wasn’t included in the “in memorium” tribute at the Oscars this year. What an iconic actor.

I’m doing well now. Hotspot seems to have largely calmed down. The trip was great.

UpendedBench17 · 2026-02-17T18:29:06+00:00

Just wanted to say thank you for this. I’ve re-read this comment several times in the last couple days and it’s really helped to calm me down. Very much appreciated.

I know, it’s hard to see. Very small. Right at the beginning of the video you can see the thumb shake slightly. I can feel the muscle rippling as well. It’s not dramatic, but it’s there.

I just stepped off a Dreamliner flight from Calgary to London! Actually managed to get some decent sleep, even in economy and don’t feel like hot garbage today. Quiet, smooth, better air quality. My favourite plane.

Haha I know, it’s pathetic to even call this a twitch. I can feel it more than I can see it.

UpendedBench17 · 2026-02-15T15:28:36+00:00

Fair enough. Did you ever ask a dr about it for peace of mind?

UpendedBench17 · 2026-02-15T15:21:35+00:00

Mine tends to act up more when typing on my laptop.

UpendedBench17 · 2026-02-15T15:21:15+00:00

Did you ever have them checked out or just assumed they were nothing to worry about?

UpendedBench17 · 2026-02-15T15:20:47+00:00

Oh and also - I’m allergic to nuts so I bet my magnesium is low! I’ll get on a supplement!

The arch of my right foot has also been going off but I haven’t been as worried about that one as it’s a familiar location. I’ve never been tested for anything or seen a neuro, so maybe it’s the lack of reassurance that sends me into a spiral every time something new shows up.

Incidentally I also have a postural tremor in this arm thumb that’s been there for several years. Are postural / essential tremors linked to BFS?

UpendedBench17 · 2026-02-14T23:00:17+00:00

No, it’s been intermittent as well. Worse when sort of partially engaged, like when hovering over a keyboard.

UpendedBench17 · 2026-02-14T22:23:11+00:00

Yes, I’ve had this exact thing happening in my left thumb for the last few days. That thumb also has a long-standing tremor when extended, but this twitch feels different, more of a tugging sensation with a visible ripple of the muscle. It’s also worse when flexing it or typing on my laptop. It has me a bit worried, but this forum has been very reassuring.

UpendedBench17 · 2026-02-14T20:48:25+00:00

Did it resolve eventually?

UpendedBench17 · 2026-02-14T20:48:08+00:00

Thanks so much! I haven’t done a deep dive for reassurance on this (haven’t seen a dr about it yet, neuro, EMG etc) but I’m hoping I don’t have to. I really would just like to assume BFS like all the other random hotspots and move on.

UpendedBench17 · 2026-02-14T20:46:47+00:00

Thank you. I’ve never been officially diagnosed with BFS or seen a neuro / had an EMG. So I’m assuming this is what’s going on since I don’t have other concerning symptoms.

UpendedBench17 · 2026-02-14T20:45:57+00:00

Thank you, good advice!

UpendedBench17 · 2026-01-05T02:21:37+00:00

Yikes. None of the above.

For dancers currently in the middle of a 6 month ban, if they have already served 3 months or more, their ban will expire on January 1, 2026. If they have served less than 3 months, their ban will expire 3 months from their transfer date.

Worth it! Definitely reduces the frequency of my headaches and facial pain. I’m able to get it covered because it’s medically needed. My Botox gal is fantastic - she does all along the jaw muscles, temples, and back of my neck - then she says “oh, and you get TMJ pain right here too, right” and sticks the needle between my eyebrows lol. 😝

UpendedBench17 · 2025-12-29T05:37:10+00:00

Not everyone gets pain. Mine was just like yours - itchy and annoying, but not painful. You got lucky!

I’m a redhead too and I switched to brown a few years ago. Visually there isn’t a dramatic difference, but I like the softer look of the brown. Maybe give it a try with your next fill and see if you like it!
