Default Aussie, do you take....

neurontin or something like that? It's rare, but it can cause or aggravate that symptom. I only ask, because 'Twitching' is an effect of neurontin - when I was on it, it was a noticable [to me] problem. Once I changed to another med the problem disappeared. [It was so bad I had to change neuro's to change med]

As for little eye twitches - before I'd PN, one of my eyes would start tiny involuntary shudders if I'd read way too much [which I used to have to do for my job]. Rest seemed to be the only cure there. Do they both twitch at once? Or do they take turns...That's the kind of thing a good eye doc would probably ask..

Other than drops, only thing I can think of is a moist compress for the dry eyes, but, you've had the benefit of Billye's knowledge. I've used the compresses & drops when my allergies [several of them] kick in.

Hang in there - really good thoughts always - j

Default Thank you ladies

No I do not take neurontin. But I will look at the links Silverlady has sent me. Thank you both.

Default Aussie, must be you put...

the idea in my fuzzy brain! My back is spazzing - it's a spot from a very old muscle sprain...I sure hope discussion didn't wake it up! I feel like a marionette with one overactive string!

If it keeps up, I should be ready for Halloween & won't need a costume!

I think I'm laughing here? - j
