Muscular Fasiculations: Seeking Help

[aulGoosebumps98]

Hi,

This is my first ever posting on this site....just wondering if anyone could offer some suggestions. I have had fasiculations of the muscles for the last 1.5 years. Like most other people symptoms they are mainly focused around the calves, sometimes feet and just above the knee. I have also had them in just about evey muscle in my body - but never too persistant. I've had blood test and my Neurologist can offer no explanation except that I have no MS or critical illness.

One thing that I have noticed is that I'm pretty sure that my symptoms get worse with alcohol. This seems to make the fasciulations worse and the muscles ache in my calves. I don't know whether this is the cause or exagerates the symptoms. I have looked all over the web for alcohol related fasiculations and the only examples point to alcohol abuse in alcoholics.

I was wondering whether anyone had anything similar or had any advise. I know that stopping drinking completely maybe a response, but how can even a small level of alcohol cause this?

Thanks

Yes, a night of drinking will surely make the twitches worse the next day. They do seem to go away while drinking, though.

Many benign twitchers will report Alcohol makes symtoms worse.

Very common.
