Good morning @stevevon i had not heard of cramp fasciculation syndrome before so I looked it up. It seems to be very rare, not understood, and still undergoing research. I did find some groups that members have mentioned CFS in:

I’ll ask some members, @kennapie , @kimegraves , @wiley , and @willisann , to join this conversation to see if they might have some help for you.
You may also want to go to the neuropathy discussion group and post your question:

What has your doctor explained to you about cramping fasciculation syndrome?

Well I’m pretty familiar as I’ve had it now for about eight years. I have been told it may go away one day but have my doubts about that. My muscular neurologist recently left the practice so I am in search of a new doctor here in New Jersey. I’m hoping that someone has some new ideas or therapy. I’ve been using limited exercise, stretching, massage and taking baclofen. The bad thigh cramping has diminished but the pain now in my calves and feet is constant and sometimes almost unbearable. I sleep very little. I have high blood pressure which precludesme from taking most pain medications. I also have Crohn’s disease, in my mind I think they’re linked both being auto immune. I read that low dose naltrexone is being used for some AI diseases. Looking for anyone who has positive therapy ideas.

I have never heard of it before, however I do get servere cramping in my thighs and sometimes they feel so tight, I have to feel them to see if they really are...(and they are not) They are not fun, however I would also like to know more about cramp fasciculation syndrome,
