Benign fasciculation syndrome (BFS)

Still suffering here with the all-over-the-body twitches, minor numbness, and minor "asleep" feelings in various and random areas of the body.

Has anyone gone to these Nueropathy centers you see ads about? I guess there is ECS treatment that is primarily for nueropathy?

Also, I read that Red-light therapy could help with nerve issues, and I already use it for other things. Has anyone had success with this?

I'm trying to put together a list of things to try that might be helpful, and to do them separately to see if it's that ONE thing that could help. I have already tried the Magnesium, B12, and D... but not really helping. Haven't tried Calcium yet. What else?

Before randomly trying things, you could do bloodwork which would identify if calcium, magnesium, B12, D, Lyme antibodies, etc. are out of normal ranges. That's what my neurologist did to rule out most possible fasciculation causes. That's how he narrowed it down to BFs or ALS.

I can relate. I did have the body wide fasciculations, now hardly ever, but still have the minor numbness asleep feeling in hands and feet. In hands only occasionally during the night only. I’m seeing neurologist and several causes are being considered. He said B12 deficiency, but I suspected long standing type 1 diabetes or post covid syndrome. Have you had those things?
