A member asked:
I am having some muscle twitching for quite some time, probably a couple of months but recently there are more twitching and it is not localized to my thighs or leg anymore. could this be benign fasciculation syndrome? what can cause this?

Skeptical that any neurological disorder is present, and your guess of benign fasciculations is most likely. Certainly, your doctor could obtain blood studies and check for electrolyte imbalance, but also potential muscle issues. An examination is key.
