Benign fasciculation syndrome (BFS)

Hi there. I have been reading you diligently from France for a few weeks now. I am also affected by all the symptoms mentioned by several people here. Some slight fasciculations on the left calf began a few months ago. I think I did too much sport, lack of magnesium etc...And then everything gets worse at the end of June 2022. The fasciculations are felt in both calves, my toes start to move on their own, one of between them retracts (and still is), tingling, burning sensations etc... Then my arm muscles started to move (not fasciculations but contractions), the thighs... I also feel vibrations internal to falling asleep or waking up (in the head, neck, arms, etc.). In short, what panic. My doctor referred me to a neurologist. The clinical examination (very summary) reveals nothing at the time but blood test, EMG and MRI programmed. In my research, I also wonder about chiropractic. I am aware of my situation. Thank you for all your stories and this forum.

Welcome @tbarbotte, It's good that you are doing your own research and learning as much as you can about your health conditions. Do the fasciculations seem worse after an activity of any sort? How soon is your appointment with a neurologist?

Hi tbarbotte. I have very similar issues. What your neurologist determine? Are you still having the vibrations in your head? I have them while sleeping and then they wake me up. I have no stop fasciculations in calves and feet and then random all over.
