Benign fasciculation syndrome (BFS)

I've had BFS for over 2 years. It's a sort of curse. The only treatment that seems to work for me is to take 200mg of Magnesium, 3-5mg of Melatonin, and 0.25mg of Clonazepam before bed. If I get lucky and get a full, uninterrupted night of sleep, then the following day I'll be somewhat exhausted but also barely any fasciculations. There is no cure for it, and since it doesn't kill you, the medical industry doesn't have even the most remote interest in looking for a cure. So it's something we have to find a way to deal with and live with. There are plenty of snake oil treatments out there, so you can roll the dice on those, but likely best route is to eat healthy, get into shape, and get a lot of sunlight.

Melatonin and benadryl make my symptoms 100 times worse.
