Late reply, but still:1. Increased urge to urinate or an increase in frequentcy??No2. Weak feelings in arms and legs (not just one limb) but all limbs or body as a whole??Yes, occasionally3. Weak and/or awkwardness in the hands, like a feeling of a little less control or dexterity??Yes...

I also tried quinine several times. It was suggested by my neuro to possibley stop fascics. Only a slight change for me, if any. In Europe it is an OTC drug, no prescription needed.RegardsOliver

There is medical literature published that says fasciculation potentials (FP) are found in peripheral muscles in approx. 90 % of healthy male and >60 % of female test persons. FP frequency is at mean value 6 per muscle and minute. Other papers state that FP's may go up to 100 per minute, based...

Anything new on the results of your survey ? I am curious to see what came out. I have just completed the questionnaire.

I get occasional aches in my feet and elsewhere and I have an almost constant pain in my deltoids when lifting something heavy.

I have hotspots in my left first dorsal interosseus hand muscle and left foot for more than a year.

I have experienced buzzing and tingling im my feed and lower calves a lot. Also right in this moment. In other parts of the body, too. Less frequent though. I had this buzzing now for at least 15 months, not all days but at least every week.Oliver

By the way, Magnesium comes in different chemical formulations with different bioavailability.Magnesium-Carbonate is said to be better absorbed than Magnesium-Oxide. The Oxide is more commonly used in supplements. One can however check the specifications on the box.RegardsOliver

Yes, I also had this just now for a couple of days. It is like a twitch of mid-ear muscles. It now went away but I am sure I will hear it again.BestOliver

Yes, I get this too. A few twitches after sneezing. Sometimes also after yawning.BestOliver

Kind of late reply, but still:1. Oliver2. MD, PhD3. Surgical Research4. 12 yearsLiterature data show there is an increased prevalence of benign fascis among persons with medical profession compared to the overall population.RegardsOliver

I also get facial twitches, especially in the eye lids and in the peri-oral area, lips, cheeks etc. Somethimes they are are starting after sneezing or yawning. I fluctuates a lot. It is often accompanied by slight facial paresthesias and tingling. Best Oliver

I have various kinds of twitches for 14 months now. Strong bumps that you can see even through the shirt, e.g. in the upper arm. Then crawly, wormy ones in the hand and buzzing, especially in the arches of the feet. RegardsOliver

I would agree with the major part being emotion related. My twitching started during a period of heavily inreased stress about 13 months ago. On the other hand it is now independently there, and not related to emotions anymore.RegardsOliver

Hello,after having had generalized fasciculations for almost 12 months (mainly in the calves and hands, but somethimes allover) and several neuro visits (including a clean EMG and transcranial MEP in January this year): diagnosed BFS.I had another neuro visit yesterday in a university hospital...
