Sorry for the "out of curiosity" question, but as some of you may know I have BFS and am interested in the topic of fasciculations in general. Feel free to ignore me. :-D
When someone with BFS catches a cold, their twitches increase dramatically. There's just something about viruses that, I guess, irritate the muscles or the nerves or something. Does this same thing happen with PALS?
I try to comfort people with BFS who are suffering from great anxiety. I've never really found any unbreakable rules about the differences between ALS fasciculations and BFS fasciculations. You can give some general "rules of thumb" but there are always exceptions, or at least apparent exceptions, and people with severe anxiety issues always consider themselves the exception.
I'm not really sure what I'll do with this info if it turns out to be accurate. Maybe tell them to go out and tongue kiss a sick person. :-D
