Wonder if any actual researchers from Mayo look at this thread at all. Anyway, it's been nearly 3 years since I got BFS and I'm still twitching. I've found a few things that help mitigate it a bit, I'm back on my hypertension meds again, I take an allergy med every day, and 200mg of Doctor's Best High Absorption Magnesium in the morning and in the evening, and I take between 3-5mg of Melatonin every night, an hour before bed. I use a sleep tracker and find that when I get at least 1 hour of deep sleep, the following day I'll have very very few twitches.

I have a feeling I'm taking too much Magnesium, but it seems to work. I've tried several different brands of Magnesium, but it was this one specifically that brought some actual result. My Magnesium tests are always normal though. Several months ago my fingers started rapidly twitching. My neuro said it's nothing, but literally my entire thumb would spasm rapidly for hours. I couldn't use a mouse or keyboard at all. That was when I decided just to try another brand of Magnesium, and within a few hours of trying it the spasms stopped.

The only thing that seems to set off my twitching in a bad way is either overexerting something, like twitching something tough with my fingers, which results in rapid twitching along my forearm for an hour or so, or eating a lot of sugar which causes my biceps and leg muscles to start twitching. Benign fasciculation syndrome is some kind of curse. I probably did something stupid in life and somehow earned this.
