Are you taking an medication that may induce twitching as a side-effect? I got some really bad hand tremors when I was taking Effexor XR. Fortunately, the hand tremors stopped soon after I discontinued the medication.

The only regular medication I take is Crestor. Like all statins Crestor can cause nerve issues (but none of the reports I have read talk about fasciculations -- they all concentrate on more serious issues like myopathy). I have been on statins now for over 20 years. I am switching to generic Lipitor next month, not because of side-effects but because my insurance won't cover the high cost of Crestor any longer. I'll see if it makes a difference.

One other thing that comes to mind is a dietary issue. Could there be something that you're eating or not eating that is causing the fasciculations? I know it can be very frustrating when trying to figure out the cause of symptoms without having any clear direction. When I had an allergic reaction of hives earlier this year, the doctor gave me a list of OTC medications that can control the symptoms. However, he said it'll be trial and error trying to figure out what caused the allergic reaction in the first place. Fortunately, the cause turned out to be a new laundry detergent, which is easily resolved.
