Has anyone had muscle "twitching" in their legs and other parts of their body?

I'm so concerned. I thought at first it might be potassium, but I have my labs done regularly and have never been told that there was a problem there. It isn't spasms like a charlie horse, it's twitching. If I'm not mistaken the actual term for it is fasciculations. And they are scaring the $#!! out of me! I've been to the Ortho and have an appt with a Neurologist next week. I've held off on getting the MRI in case the Neuro wants to get one also (perhaps I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone). I have a tendency to panic and right now I'm convinced I have Lou Gehrig's disease and my anxiety level is through the roof. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
