Benign fasciculation syndrome (BFS)

Question: With BFS, does anyone else experience twitching in the toes? I started similar things around a year ago, and it seems to have come with sleep myoclonus, but I also have involuntary movements of the fingers and toes, and it seems to be getting worse. Woke up a few times in the past week with a numb hand, which could just be my fat ass sleeping on it, but it's enough to startle me even more. Negative feedback loop. 🙁

Yes, for a number of weeks I was having twitching in the toes when at rest, mainly when trying to sleep. I started wearing socks to bed and it seemed to help for some reason. I also frequently get the numbness in fingers but I attribute this to poor circulation. For what it is worth, I started taking calcium supplements several weeks ago and most of the my BFS symptoms have subsided, though I still get twitching and spasms almost every day. I noticed in my last blood test that my calcium levels were on the low side. Hope this helps.
