MPFS = Muscular Pain Fasciculation Syndrome. It was named in a Journal of Neurology article by Hudson et al (1978). I have had it for 17 years and have had many MDs and many ineffective treatments. I have yet to find anyone else with this idiopathic syndrome. If you have small twitches in both calves with aching that extends up into your hamstrings, you may also have this syndrome. 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.
