Benign fasciculation syndrome (BFS)

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.

It's been awhile since I had blood work for this particular problem, so I should check on calcium and Vit B. Now I'm waking up at all weird hours with twitching, and a very restless foot, but more like it feels "powered" by something, not a tingling or a pins and needles, but like electrodes in there. I drink milk almost every day, so I have a hard time beliving this is mere calcium deficiency. But ya never know, thanks for the tip. On a side note, have you ever tried Scullcap supplements? I read it on these boards that it helps with RLS, and I've been on Scullcap for a few days, but so far, I see no improvements.
