Etana, having a persistent twitching lasting 10 days must be worrying. Do you have additional symptoms besides the twitching that cause concern?

Thank you for responding and moving my question. I was not sure how to post in the discussion about benign fasciculation syndrome. I have cramping and pain in my arms and hands, but I have had this in various muscles for years- I was diagnosed with cramp fasciculation syndrome and muscle use does seem to make symptoms worse. My fear is of a progressive neurological condition like ALS. Thank you.
