Ive had bfs for 40 years...annoying..but not sinister

I never had one as it turns out...Dr. decided not necessary. Still have twitching but no other symptoms

I've had twitches in calves and feet for decades, and other occasional hotspots. Saw neuro, no emg, diagnosed with benign fasiculation syndrome (BFS). I found a fb group Benign Fasiculation Support group. Check it out..lots of people in same boat. Note try to minimize discussion about a*s.

I have ibs and have the frequent morning bathroom trips. .then I'm pretty much good for the day. My stool is hardly ever "normal". I've had 2 colonoscopies. .I'm almost 60 and due for another one next year. Both were clean worst part is the prep..procedure I was sedated so no problem.

Hi Sophie I ha e this too...I have since I was a kid..I'm now flirting with 60 years of age. I can trace it back to having my stomach pumped when I was very young when my parents feared I had eaten poisonous berries ( turned out they weren't ( Nonetheless nothing scares me more than the...

Very familiar story to .one as well...h.a since my early 20s....I'll be 60 in 6 months. Have gone thru certainty of many types of cancer, most recently ALS due to increase of fasiculations. I went to neuro about 6 weeks ago who did strength tests and saw no weakness. Best hp for me has been...

Twiztid I like I'm sure everyone on this forum am pulling for you. Please keep me updated. If you need to talk email me at richard@befit40.net and I'll give you my cell no.

Been there...frequent urinating definitely can be anxiety caused.

I have had and still experience some tounge twitches. I mentioned it to my neurologist a few weeks back but informed me that unless it is accompanied with weakness it is nothing to be concerned about. Weakness of the tounge would be very obvious. You can have twitching literally anywhere on...

Hi For me it seems to be "gas foods" such as chili beans, cabbage, sweet potatoes (which I love!) I try not to eat trail mix later in the evening....that seemed to cause an increase. Overall though just getting back on lexapro (which is one of many anti-anxiety meds) has helped by reducing .y...

Marie8: In response to your email I do not take anything specific for ibs except the anxiety meds. I am careful with what I eat to avoid eating foods that seem to make it worse.

A very common occurrence for us with h.a....my normal bp is around 120/85 but at drs office seen it has high as 160.

Oh yeah. I've had ibs for years.now...been told by g.i specialist and primary care anxiety is main cause for this condition. Since I've been on anxiety meds this past year seen a reduction in ibs symptoms

Your symptoms are so identical to mine amazing....I am now 59 and started with the calf and feet twitching when I was 21! I was told way back when it was benign. Ow flash ahead umpteen years and .my worsening health anxiety and I start to develop twitches elsewhere...hands. tounge...upper...

Hal So so true . These neurological diseases are so scary because there really is no cure for some of them...at least with other diseases we fear you feel there is at least a "punchers chance" at beating it. You nailed it on the head!!!

I will do that. Thanks for the reply

I have had twitching in my calves and feet since early 80s....recently though as my anxiety has gotten worse now it involves my thumb and other parts of the hand. Really scared about ALS. never had emg. Did get clinical exam a few weeks ago.. no weakness. I finally have decided to go thru...

I have experienced this exact same vicious cycle . Fear of losing weight heightens your anxiety so you lose more due to increased metabolism .. and not eating as well.

Karla Do you get the twitching in your hands and fingers too? Those are the ones that scare the sh*t out of me into thinking I have a horrible disease. They seem to be getting worse but by anxiety is worse too.
