Question eye twitching
Hi,

What is causing my right eye-lid to twitch? It started Monday.

Could I try some eye drops right now?
Or take some magnesium and B12 -- both are safe for stomach at night I think.

I don't know what is good for eye twitching. How is your mood?

Hi Mari ---I just got over mine in March it took 3 months even went to eye dr said it happens,he said it could resolve quickly or take 6 months if it goes on longer then 6 months he was going to inject botox in it --but I think Mrs D said try magnesium and I did ---it may have helped. I know it started to become annoying and i was more concerned it was from my neck a nerve but they said no. I hope yours resolves much quicker then mine.

Oh gosh Mari how annoying. You don't have cervical issues do you? From my neck the nerve to the muscle in my eye is weak and when fatigued it lets it twitch.

Do you have allergies, or histamine problems?
Feel better soon.

I've had a twitching eyelid before. I don't remember how long it occurred, and I don't remember when it stopped.

I've had twitching muscles in various areas in my body,and they stop after a short,or longer period of time. BF

Default magnesium, B complex esp B6, a little zinc.
magnesium and b6 for the twitching/tic, less likely b12. i'd use balanced b complex with good b6 content, b6 needs other b vits to work, esp b1 and b2.

also possibly zinc if it seems stress-related.

use sensible amounts - check the %RDA / %DV. avoid megadoses.

toxicity:
... zinc can displace copper.
... B6 in large doses can cause permanent harm to the nervous system.

Just a little humor. Zinc does displace copper on the new pennies. The core of a penny is zinc,because the cost of copper has gone way up.
What I said doesn't go along with the topic. I'm just trying to be silly. BF

Default Thank you.
Hi,

I stopped drinking tea after I posted -- I was drinking a cup of tea in the morning. . . . no other caffeine in my day.
Wednesday and Thursday I had some magnesium from my CALM and I followed the directions to dissolve it in hot water.


Waves,
Tonight I took half of my multi-vitamin daily dose (3 pills) . It is the multi with six pills for a regular daily dose that has fairly high amounts of things like the Bs and zinc, . . .
I had not taken it at all in weeks or months.

Thank you Mari. I recently did a study on the copper in the modern penny. The American penny is filled with Zinc. It is copper plated. Wikipedia has the facts about what's in a penny since the 1700's. BF
