I do think PM could be the cause of our fasciculations if it is contributing to pseudo estrogen dominance. (I say "pseudo" because PM does NOT contain estrogen, but it obviously has strong estrogenic effects in humans and conceivably could cause symptoms similar to true estrogen dominance via it's effect on LH/LSH and testosterone. If you search for the symptoms of estrogen dominance, you will find hypothyroidism is a frequently near the top of the list. If you do a search on fasciculations and hypothyroidism, again, fasciculations are frequently a symptom of hypothyroidism as either a sequelae of the effect on energy metabolism and/or electrolyte imbalance in the muscle tissue. There are a whole suite of possible hypothyroid symptoms including allergies, rashes, hives and sinus congestion. I believe several people have mentioned sinus issues, while several others have mentioned dry mouth. Sjogren's syndrome (two of the dominant symptoms are dry mouth and dry eyes) is also associated with hypothyroidism.

Also, the combination of PM and statins could create the problems you are having. Think of fasciculations as a kind of subclinical myopathy. Also realize, the myopathy associated with statins can run the gamut from intense pain to minor aches and the like.

The primary way GG's counter estrogen dominance is to take supplemental progesterone. You could lower your PM dosage and/or add progesterone to your program. I think you might find the fasciculations and/or cramps (if you're having any) will significantly decrease.

Good luck.
