Thank you for sharing this information concerning fasciculations. I have been experiencing them for the past 5 or 6 years. I have told my GP about them every time I see her but she does not offer any explanation for them. These "twitches" can be very annoying and many times keep you up at night. I have often wondered about them being neurologically connected. I am very interested to see what your neurologist says about fasciculations. Thanks again for sharing this information.

They certainly are annoying. I sometimes have a day or two where I'll get small spontaneous jerks, mostly in the arms, but that passes. Just when that seems to be gone, it will come back for a bit. Also, weird sensations different places in my body and numbness, especially in my toes. That passes, too, then may appear at another place. It sounds like your GP doesn't think it's anything to be concerned about, but it is frustrating after a while. Especially when you have no idea why it happened. Will post what the neurologist says. My appointment isn't until November, unless they have a cancellation.
