I have recently been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy - sensory and motor. I am wondering if anyone else gets fasciculations? I get them on the bottom of my feet, legs and arms.

fasciculations is one of the symptoms of neuropathy. Mines started to become crazy when i first got my "undiagnosed" neuropathy. also called muscle twitches.

i get them mostly in my calves. sometimes on my abdomen

Anyone with fasiculations should try magnesium therapy in earnest.

There is a magnesium lotion you can rub on, called Morton Epsom Lotion. It can be used on targeted problem areas. Rub into intact skin a small amount daily. Tops of feet, ankles etc. Start there.
A nickel's worth diameter on each foot. The skin on the bottoms of the feet is too thick, so don't apply there.

Once you get some mag into your circulation you can add an oral form that is well absorbed like SlowMag. Or a chelate of your choice, just NOT oxide which doesn't work.

Morton's is available at most local WalMarts and Walgreens or online at Amazon.

I use Morton's every day... and it is just miraculous.

I get them everywhere. Very annoying.

Me too. Sometimes I dont have them once. Then other times, I have them throughout the day.

When lying, they seem to come on more often.

I've been taking the Mag64 for about five days now, and I hope I'm not jinxing it by saying I've seen a SIGNIFICANT decrease in the twitching.

Thanks very much for this recommendation.

I've had them non-stop in my lower left leg for 29 years, and now my right leg has joined the party. I also feel them in my back muscles now.

Thanks for the rec on SlowMag. Has anyone tried this apparent "generic" version of it?

I've asked family and friends if they have "twitches" and such and everyone I've asked gets them. Honestly I've never met anyone that doesn't get them.

I don't doubt that is true. What I deal with now is a whole different animal than any sort of fasticulation in the past.

I'm sure results may vary, as is true with most things, but my forearms never kept the beat of "Tainted Love" before my neuropathy kicked it up.
