What Causes Twitching Sensation All Over The Body While Being Treated For Benign Fasciculation Syndrome?

I have been diagnosed with Benign fasciculation syndrome almost a year. A neurologist prescribed gabapentin and I ve been taking it almost 5 months. I take magnesium supplements daily especially before I sleep. This horrible twitchings are frustrating the hell out a me. It s also over my body. I can t sleep. I wake up exhausted and still have to go to work. I m seeing my family doctor tomorrow. Us there any other mediations she can prescribe to help me out. I ve already done all she suggested. I stopped smoking, sleeping med and have cut out all caffeine and a single improvement from day one. I wake up with calf cramps most nights.

Hello,

As the neurologist prescription is correct and needs no modifications in it. Since you have cut down all the habits of the past, I will advise you to continue the neurologist prescription and regular exercises.

As most times the body heals on its own due to its own medicinal effects it's just a matter of the time which needs to work now. Be patient and continue the same you will find results.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
