Hi Richard. I have this issue from time to time and it indicates to me that I am deficient in magnesium. I usually take dissolvable magnesium in water and it stops the twitching within a few hours. I am just starting to try magnesium oil too and will let you know how that works out.

Hello all, for two years I have faced annoying muscle twitches brought about by BFS [Benign Fasciculation Syndrome], it provides me some level of comfort that many others face the same struggles and my twitching is not something more serious. I have been diagnosed with having BFS for a little over a year and I can say that 500mg of magnesium at night does help along with no caffeine.
I wish everyone the best in finding ways to reduce the severity and frequency of the twitching.
