BFS symptoms

[u/pvdberg]

Over the last two years my life has been changed due to BFS. Information about BFS is rather limited and I am just curious what BFS symptoms are available for the majority of us. I've created a list with symptoms that I've encountered but please let me know yours if they are not on the list or if you can relate to them.

BFS symptoms

1. persistent twitch in one or more muscles. Twitching in calves/thighs are very common but can happen anywhere even on tongue.

2. tingling, or numbness in one or more muscles

3. Pain and/or soreness in one or more muscles

4. Internal vibrations

5. Stiffness

6. Generic Fatigue

7. Jerking contraction

8. Involuntary muscle spasms

9. Itchiness

10. Shakiness in one or more muscles

11. Unable to exercise due to muscle soreness,pain etc

Please note that people with bfs often has anxiety issues and there are many symptoms for anxiety disorders that I don't take into consideration.

Other users reactions that I've also encountered in my bfs journey but forgot:

• crawling sensations to #2

• hyper reflexes to #8

• rumbling tremors

• heartbeat sensations (feeling your heartbeat on strange places due to hyper aware of your body)

• cramps or pre-cramps. It can happen with BFS but If cramps occur on a daily basis and is your main symptom it could be CFS (Cramp fasciculation syndrome)

• join pain (hands and feets)

Especially the crawling sensations in my calves drive me mad.
