Hello @crenee. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sure this has been concerning for you, to say the least. This may seem elementary, however, have you had a full blood panel workup to ensure you aren't also deficient in some of the key nutrients that can cause muscle spasms, such as Vitamin D, Vitamin B, and Calcium, just to be sure there isn't anything like that adding to your symptoms?

I would also like to bring in members @thenewrick @steve257 @marvel61018 and @pauliwog1949 who may also be able to rejoin the discussion and share some information with you.

Were thyroid and calcium tests included in your evaluation?

Hi! Thanks for the response! Yes, a lot of blood work was done. Thyroid, mag, creatine, etc all came back normal. They said that bfs really doesn't have great research on the cause or tx. Trying to trust the doctors and normal EMG.
