Anyone get muscle twitching - both local and widespread - as part of diagnosed small fiber neuropathy?

Yes, I get muscle twitching and cramping in my calves. Cutting out sugar & carbs helps reduce them.

I have had nervous legs (RLS) for years and fibro myalgia for years. I just was diagnosed with neuropathy in my feet! Yes I do have twitching in my feet from my nerves sending shooting pain through my toes and feet all the time.
