One thing that was puzzling me all this time is that I never had fasciculations during neuro visits (6 of them total over 2 year period), while I do have, and see, fasciculations at other times. I feel fasciculations in the lower part of my legs approximately 30% of the total time when I am awake, and sometimes in other parts of the body. But never during a dr's visit. Why ?
Now I think I know why. I noticed that I never have them when I am "mobilized" - during dr's visits, meetings at work, etc. I do have them only when I am relaxed, and my brain is less engaged and alert. I may use wrong words (English is my SL), but I hope you get the idea.
IMHO, this clearly indicates that my fasciculations are of UMN origin, not LMN as routinely assumed about any fasciculations. Wouldn't it be an interesting finding for somebody studing neuro-muscular mechanisms ? Assuming they ever bother to visit forums like these...
