Sheridan .... BFS picks its spots not you so don't focus on it too much !! I have had a sciatica type pain from my buttock and it kinda radiates to my foot but I think it's unrelated and that's how you should think ! Your bowel issues could be easily brought on by constant worry, stress & anxiety ! If your lower back is sore try sitting straight and don't slouch as slouching compresses your lower discs and can irritate nerves ! Have you been self testing ? This can also hurt you as your testing yourself in ways you wouldn't normally do and more often than you probably ever have... This can tire your muscles and stretch them etcTry to stop analysing everything ... I have and I had a very good day today, I can still feel my calves going constantly, tongue still at it but not as frequent and my tricep is going up and doing ever second or so, with that I get them all over !! But like I said my butt pain was better from sitting straight and my twitching not as bad as I am trying to but it to the back of my mind... Try it and see how you get on, I bet it helps !

Sheridan, I hear exactly how you feel, and feel the same fear. My right thigh has been twitching for 5 weeks now, with just odd twitches here and there throughout the rest of my body. I've had a panic attack yesterday for the first time ever and feel exactly like you that I don't want to wake up to this fear.However today thought I've got to get a grip. I even thought I'm going to start laughing at my twitch. I know I've still got strength in my thigh, so as long as I can walk and talk I'm trying to calm myself down, I feel I've just got to wait this out. Try your best to think differently, that is what I am trying to do. I hope you have close friends & family to help your through your moments of bad feelings. I'm sure Sunday will give you a huge relief. Yvonne

I've been twitching in the same place on my elbow since August, and now I'm twitching in the shoulder area, too. Don't be alarmed when it feels like things are getting worse. It really doesn't matter how often you twitch, if it stays local or moves around, as long you have no clinical weakness (and it sounds like you're fine there).When I told my neuro I was worried about how my arm was trembling from all the twitching, he didn't even bother to look at it -- he couldn't care less about the twitches. He wanted to check my strength -- which was perfect. I know BFS doesn't feel benign, but it is. Your good results on Sunday will ease your mind. God bless!
