I've experienced more weird body sensations the past 6 months than the rest of my life combined. But with the support of my partner I first tackled the anxiety (still on the meds and love it!). I then started actually listening to my docs. I started sleeping better, eating better, getting the right vitamins and supplements daily...and then got back in the gym to face my NMD fears head-on. As I started adding muscle (both upper and lower body) I knew whatever I had it wasn't serious.

BFS is still there. My face twitched oddly while talking to a coworker. I watched my foot twitch the other night with curiosity...and that's all it is now, a benign curiosity that is not going to rule my life.

All of this is in the face of a parent slowly dying from ALS, a former coworker MY age dying of ALS. And I don't consider myself to be tough in the slightest nor even that resilient. You need to understand that you can get through this and you're going to be OK. Sending out e-hugs to all those suffering!
