Have had muscle fasciculations for years, they are very persistent now and occur in random muscles. no stress, no caffeine and am taking vitamin b12 supplements for slight deficiency. could persistent fasciculations be a normal benign thing for me?

Mineral imbalance: Try some extra magnesium. It is a natural muscle relaxer.

Fasciculations: Muscle twitching typically is due to more common things like dehydration and electrolyte disturbances. Low magnesium is a common one. https://thedocstu.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-amazing-gut.html
