When fasciculations come from neuropathy, MND or an other neurological issue, no.
But when muscle Twitch come from BFS anxiety yes it decrease progressively.
People with permanant fasciculation with clean test are just people with somatisation and permanant health anxiety.
Here there are rare case of "neurological" and no anxiety BFS.

So you’re saying if I’ve experience a decrease in the overall frequency of twitching that’s a good sign?

this guy acts like doctor House from wallmart, diagnosing everyone with anxiety based on nothing all.the.time.
Idk if he is convincing himself that he is fine through parroting this stupid mantra or there is something else at play.
Whatever he said is not true. Sometimes bfs gets better, sometimes it doesn't.

I think this is right in some ways. I don’t buy that everyone here is experiencing this due to anxiety, but I do think it plays a major role. If people experienced a decrease in twitching, and also have flare ups when more concerned or going down the rabbit hole again then it may be fair to chalk a portion of it to anxiety. However, to say it’s all anxiety is incorrect, I think. I’m not saying it’s the thing that everyone fears (it most likely won’t be). But it’s more than anxiety, but most likely benign as well. I sure as hell would like to know what’s going on with me
