yes, magnesium helped my eye twitches!! Go read the supplements post where MrsD talks about all the choices. Don't buy anything that is "oxide" in any form.

I found an accupuncturist here, it's $50 per treatment. Insurance will not cover it for me either :(

Thanks so much --I will do that --Mrs D gives great advice!! $50.00 not to bad to give it a try. How long did u have the eye twiches ? Its just annoying and feels like I have had them forever even though its just a month.

Another thing that helps eye twitches is Fish oil ( or Krill oil).
People low in Omega-3's get all sorts of twitches.

Years ago I found a PubMed article from Basil pharmaceutical company which found that fish oil stopped eyelid twitches. At one point they were going to market a drug for this condition!

I dont remember how long. I use to get eye twitches and muscle twitches ALL the time. The B vitamines also help twitches along with magnesium.

I don't get them anymore at all now. I take all the B's and mag. everyday.

Super --I just order Omega -3 from Iceland health a few days ago waiting for it to arrive in mail. But it was very expensive-- Thanks!!

My opinion, is the best form of omega 3 is in flax seeds, there are so many benefits besides omega 3 which is colon health also. And flax seeds, ground up are cheaper...and healthier, in my opinion. :)

Flax is good too, we used the oil in salad dressings back when my son lived here and had severe ADHD. My husband still takes flax oil daily. I get mine in my peanut butter now.

But the conversion of flax (alpha linolenic acid)...to long chain EPA and DHA is very small in males. Females because they have babies who require large amounts of EPA and DHA for the developing brain in utero can convert up to 20% rates from intake. Males are in the 4% or lower. With age, I suspect females lose some of this ability after menopause since it might be estrogen driven during reproduction. So long chain EPA and DHA is very important, as well...and perhaps more so for some metabolic purposes.

Alpha linolenic acid is also abbreviated ALA...so watch for this in any papers you read. It can get mighty confusing. Alpha linolenic acid is the basic Omega-3 precursor, but it is not the only one our bodies use.

Alkaseltzer is the only thing I have found that helps with the burn and even then only for around 30-60 mins ( enough to get to sleep).
Good luck

I remember reading this before about the alkaseltzer, I know MrsD talks about it. And I asked this before but I cant remember the answer, but isn't alkaseltzer for colds????

You can get it for colds, but the reg. one is for heartburn, headaches...It has aspirin so if you have tinnitis or aspirin problems is it not good. Helps the tummy for sure.
