mg neck, do you take enough magnesium? That is what works for eye and muscle twitches really well.

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

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.

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.
