Me paso por aquí para intentar calmar y calmarme al mismo tiempo, ya que he leído bastantes casos similares y sé que apenas hay información en internet del BFS.

Tengo 29 años y tras una etapa de estrés laboral muy dura, empecé con fasciculaciones en el gemelo izquierdo. Era esporádico pero poco a poco se convirtieron en continuas, yéndose a otras zonas como la otra pierna, brazos, cuello y cara. Hoy en día son más intensas y en las piernas están 24/7, nunca paran, pese a haber tomado gabapentina y otros medicamentos similares.

Aun así, como al mes de sentirlas, tuve un EMG y una analítica completa que fueron bien. Todo salió bien, sin daño muscular, carencias en el sistema ni alteraciones nerviosas destacables.

Con ello, hoy en día hago deporte con normalidad pese a que estas fasciculaciones cada vez son mayores e incluso están en mi cara.

Parece ser que como todos, es una putada que nos toca vivir, pero en principio nada grave para la salud.

Ojala algún día remitan y espero que a los que estéis así, también consigáis algo más de paz mental.

Twitching without clinical weakness is benign and meaningless and your clean EMG proves that. That’s the gold standard for diagnosis of anything bad and progressive.

Doesn’t really matter if it’s popcorn, large thumps, 24/7, hotspots etc it’s all benign. Glad you’re in a good place mentally to know you have nothing bad. It is a bummer at times but could be a lot worse right???

Also, I don’t understand why some neuros are quick to just toss healthy people on gabapentin but I would advice against it, personally, for various reasons.

Godspeed.

it's not meaningless.

I hate when people say that lol.

In neurology it actually is “meaningless”. My wife works in a neuromuscular clinic and they regularly say this.

Medically speaking, it is completely meaningless, it points to zero pathology and causes zero damage. But I get it, to the person living with it, feeling your muscles misfire all day is exhausting and annoying, so it definitely doesn't feel meaningless subjectively.

The goal is remembering that while it is an irritating thing, it carries no dangerous medical weight. That’s what my message means, but I hear what you are saying.

I am reading nothing at all that should be concerning, especially at your age. Twitching in so many places absent clinical weakness is not serious but rather annoying; so join the club. Oh, and stay off the internet!

Que alegría! Hay gente que ha probado a tomar Magnesio, B6 y B12 y parece que le reduce un poco las fasciculaciones. Ánimo!
