Thanks for the reply @johnbishop . No, my fasciculations are almost permanent in the calves, especially at rest (sitting, in bed...). I don't feel like it's more or less present after physical exercise...I really feel like it's there all the time ;). My EMG is scheduled in two weeks and I don't have a date for the MRI yet (3 months delay in my city...).
I don't know if these symptoms really correspond to a BFS or not. If that were the case (i suppose everyone prefers that here to ALS or besides a degenerative disease), I don't know how to understand the sequence of events to "live" with it...

Not sure if you have searched for articles on BFS but thought I would share this one just in case you haven't seen it. It does talk about diagnosis, treatment, BFS vs. ALS and Outlook which you might find helpful.
