My bfs story
Hi all just wanted to share my story and insight for others and where I am at the moment with my journey. Id be interested if there is anyone who has shared similar experiences. 30 yo male. My twitching started in my calves in March this year while doing moderate incline treadmill cardio and riding a bike everyday to and from work. Initially it was in my calves for up to 2-3 months where I didn’t think much of it putting it down to heavy exercise and possibly electrolyte deficiency. One morning at the beginning of May I rode to the gym and started my workout doing 2 sets of leg extensions before my whole body started having fasciculations in every muscle you can imagine accompanied by nausea. I was taken to hospital by ambulance where they treated me for severe electrolyte imbalances. From that day onwards I have not experienced a day without muscle twitching in every body part I can imagine. Other symptoms I experience are numbness and tingling in my hands and feet and general fatigue. Gym performance is a little down but I can still lift the same weight but my volume has decreased. My creatine kinase levels are elevated at 230. I had a emg and ncs study completed 4 months post commencement of twitching in my calves and 6 weeks post other areas and they detected no abnormalities in their findings and they deemed it to be bfs. Any reassurance or advice in my situation? I’m really stressed that it still could be something worse!
