I started in March 2011 4 months after my weakness and foot drop started I was given a BFS diagnosis too, even with foot drop, weakness, and abnormal EMG, idiopathic PN. After much time and almost begging for an explaination, tired of hearing "don't worry" I was told the BFS was a response to my irritated and very irritable nervous system.
I took mag ox which really did not help and learned to live with them. I am no longer anxious about them, they are disruptive at night but....like many others
I was just started on Lyrica for neuropathic pain and tho' I hate the side effects, my fasics greatly decreased in intensity and they are occuring much less. Took the med for a week before the improvement. Individual response to Lyrica is varied, quite frankly if I was offered the medication strictly for fasiculations, I would chose to twitch.:eek::eek::eek:

MagOx does not work. It is not absorbed from the GI tract.
I'd suggest the topical lotion we are using now... CVS Epsom Lotion, or a chelated form of oral magnesium. You will be very surprised at how it works!;)
