Hi all,

I have been reading this entire thread for the last hour. As most people do not have medical specialists on speed dial (quite the opposite; appointments take weeks), it is very helpful to have a platform to connect to people with similar experiences. We can help each other based on gained knowledge over time where others just started their journey..like me 🙁

I have been experiencing twitching since 4 weeks. It started with occasional twitch but is now more present (all over body, sometimes few hrs non stop). I have seen a neurologist who diagnosed BFS without EMG testing.

I understood that it is common for BFS patients to have twitching muscles that directly stop twitching when moved. For example, if tricep starts to twitch during rest, it should stop when moving the arm. Yes, it continues most likely thereafter, but during movement not.

Is this applicable to you all? Seems not entirely the case for me.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

I can’t recall about the details of moving various limbs, only that after my EMG was normal, my fasciculations stopped. They caused me a lot of amxiety, so I’m very relieved.
