Hi Aussie99,

I haven't as yet been diagnosed with a particular type of PN, although it is looking more and more like it may be SFPN (idiopathic).

Yes I have the twitching (fasciculations) all over just as you say..."here a calf, there a butt.....old MacDonald...." constantly flitting around. I'm sure they are there all day but I notice them when I am sitting quietly or lying down and particularly when I first wake in the mornings they are VERY pronounced then!!! They are not painful but nevertheless a totally new experience which started about five weeks ago. The onset of the fasciculations was several weeks after the onset of the constant burning/buzzing of PN so I'm sure they HAVE to be connected to the PN.

Perhaps it is a total coincidence that you developed the fasciculations after using the shiatsu machine! I think (and please correct me if I am wrong) that the fasciculations are part of the sensory-motor nerve involvement of PN. I have read (and again I may be wrong) that fasciculations may be the only symptom of motor involvement and there may be no further progression of motor damage/symptoms - which is good news if that is true.
