  1. I already take a whole-food multi, plus magnesium/calcium/D -- I've
    heard that's supposed to help relax the nerves and muscles (it does
    help me sleep better) -- but I still get lots of -- hopefully --
    "benign" fascics. (They don't occur at any specific place, just
    randomly scattered about my entire body.) I've had them as long as I
    can remember, but they seem to be more frequent recently. Can this be
    an early warning sign of some neurological disease?

    Yes, ALS is the one that comes to mind. Is it a specific finding?
    No.

  3. You really should see a neurologist. There are tests that can be done
    which would determine if ALS is a good possibility. I know that with
    Charcot Marie Tooth, vitamin B6 should be taken in moderation,
    ciproflaxin should be avoided if possible, and alcohol should be
    avoided, except in small amounts (if I remember correctly), so until
    you get this straightened out, you should think about such things. You
    provide so little information that one can't say anything more. It
    would be important to know how old you are, your personal and family
    medical history, your diet, etc.
