Thanks for your reply!
Now I just noticed that my big finger in feet moves by it's own! Not constantly, happens for a while then stops
That freaks me out

Default Don't freak!
That happened to me too in the beginning but it stopped. Thank you for reminding me. If you need more info on RLS let me know. I was in a group for a few months before I realized my primary issue was neuropathy.

One more thing: what abnormalities you had on your EMG if any? (I guess you did since you're taking about neuropathy)
I have abnormal findings and that twitching on top of that makes me anxious

I have symptoms of SFN. Nothing substantial showed up on my EMG.

Thanks for the links. My EMG had various pathologies in it, adding twitching to that I fear for something more serious
I'll be calling a neuro who did the test tomorrow

Do you drink enough water? How about supplementing magnesium? I only ask because I had some twitching that troubled me greatly. Hydrating better and using the now discontinued mortons epsom salt lotion helps.

I still have them at times, but becoming accustomed to them and lessening them with the above has helped me.

I'm on 500mg chelate magnesium a day, I'll try drinking more water

The twitches don't bother me so much, but the abnormal EMG and twitches combined, I'm going in my head about what can that be
I'll be happy if they stopped only to discard the worst
