Hi, my father had twitching in his muscles, and it was becoming very disturbing. He went to a doctor, and find out that he had a benign fasciculation syndrome(BFS). How should he treat this condition?
Hello, I have benign fasciculation syndrome for a long time. In my case, it was caused by spinal injury. This is actually a condition of the motor nerves, the muscles, or the neuromuscular junction. Benign fasciculation syndrome affected my arms and legs, and it is nearly occasional. There is no cure found yet, but some medicines could help you father, like beta-blockers and anti-seizure drugs. He should also exercise and sleep more, but work less. This is not exactly a real treatment of benign fasciculation syndrome, but it is the best there is. He should also avoid things like chocolate, coffee and cola. In many cases, every day stress is the main reason for benign fasciculation syndrome, so he should try not to be easily upset.
