As one twitcher to another--No.

Mine were my eyelid, my cheek and my upper and lower lip, all on the right side of my face.

I tried everything to get rid of my twitches, nothing worked.
The doc said it was caffeine, i cut caffeine, chocolate?..ditto
More sleep...slept more, stress?...did everything I could to cut stress, even if it was good stress!

I used to press on the twitches, but when they were all happening at once I looked like I was playing "Twister" with my fingers, trying to hold pressure on every spot!

The doc said it's not MS...I just kept on twitching and got a new doctor.

The new one said...it's MS! It's fasciculations. It will go away sooner or later OR we can inject some Botox in there to stop it.

I'd have tried the Botox if it hadn't let up.
(he said he could use the rest of the syringe on some of my more prominent wrinkles!)
