Hi @tutina and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion about benign muscular fasciculation. I did this so that you can connect with @captainanxiety8 @summer49 @lizaa and others talking about BFS. I can imagine your concern as your sons are young and that this may be affecting both of them.

Are you sons by any chance taking the same medication, for example for allergies? How long has your eldest son been taking the additional minerals and vitamins (D, B12 and magnesium)?

Colleen, Thank you for moving my post. Neither one of my sons is taking any medication. The oldest started taking (D, B12 and magnesium) about a month ago. The youngest has been taking only magnesium for a week. The twitches are becoming more frequent for both of them. For my youngest it seems that they occur more often when are at rest. For the oldest they occur all day.
