Sometimes, larger, non-painful twitches will occur anywhere in the body. It is NOT characterized by cramps, spasms, weakness, numbness, wasting, etc. Just fasciculations (small twitches) and aching, bilaterally in the calves. Sometimes the fasciculation are more felt (electric but not shock-like) than seen.
If anyone has this, I sure would like to start a dialog.
Thanks.

Hi,
This is very interesting this MPFS. When you first got it did you have other symptoms first or has it always been just the fasics and the aching? Have you had other PN type symptoms develop since?
What is its course?
How does it vary from BFS (Benign Fasciculation Syndrome)?
