benign fasciculation syndrome

Anyone have this? I've been having muscle twitching in my legs for about 18 months now and am guessing this is what it is. I hate to go get a bunch of tests for some scary things!

Are you on any medication? There are alot of drugs and other medical conditions(Lyme) that can cause muscle twitching that gets mistaken for BFS.

Although, you should get an EMG to rule out something more serious.

Are you on statin drugs such as lipator or zocor..and did your pharmacy make you take the generic which is simvistatin? I had a huge problem with this especially in my hand. First I stopped taking the lipator and it subsided withing a day and stopped with two days so dr switched me to zocor same thing then I realized it was the GENERIC statin that did it. He put me on crestor and I am not on the generic and so far no problem.
