I have had a similar thing happen to me and I’ve been scared. I’m having random twitching and jerking that is mainly my legs and at night but also happens if I’m sitting or driving in the car some. It started about 3 weeks ago and has eased up some but I’m still getting them. Every now and then a finger will also twitch or I will get and electrical type of feeling in a finger. Does anyone know what this could be? I’m 40 years old. A month before this I had Covid so not sure if it could be related. I was also taking lots of antacids due to being on a Verapamil for migraines but I am now not taking those medications I have really scared myself into thinking I have a scary neurological disorder or something else

I have had BFS on and off for 17 years. It just started up non stop again about 9 months ago. My entire body is like a popcorn machine of twitches. Went back through the entire set of tests again from my doctors. Only thing that has come up is Peripheral Neuropathy in my feet. Trying to deal with the foot pain the best I can. Taking 300mg of Gabapentin and really not getting much from it. Try not to go down a rabbit hole mentally with this if you can. My Neurologist can't let find a cause of the Neuropathy.
