My neurologist hasn't said anything about it. He asks me if it is still happening when I see him and he just puts in in his computer. I think he is just waiting to see what happens with me.
I have it everywhere, even my eyes, like where they wanna pop out, and I have no weakness. And waiting to see a nueroligist for 8 months now.

Twitching around the eyes may be due to low Omega-3 status (not eating Omega-3 essential fatty acids) and low magnesium intake. Add flax and fish to your diet or take some supplements for this.

This site gives food choices to improve magnesium levels to calm things down:

SlowMag is also good to supplement with if you choose.

Is your magnesium a good kind? (Oxide is useless as it is not absorbed). Many people use the oxide thinking it works, and it does not. Even many doctors don't know this.

Omega-3's are used by the body to repair cell membranes. They are often helpful for anti-inflammatory control and repair of nerves.

Are you taking methylB12 on an empty stomach? It is not well absorbed with food present.

I'm not sure what kinda b12, I take it late in the afternoon. Should I try omega stuff to?

I heard that stuff can hide problems as well. When I went to the eye dr about the burning eyes. And she said before o take omega 3 to consult a dr.

Omega-3's shouldn't be taken with blood thinners. That would be the main reason to consult your regular doctor.

But they are FOOD you know... not a vitamin or supplement.
If you eat enough fish and flax seed, you don't need to take it as a supplement. But many people don't, so then there are pill forms.

Eye doctors are giving them now for various eye inflammations.
That is a relatively new treatment, but there is a study on PubMed by the Basel drug company using it for eye twitching.

3 a day of regular fish oil is not a high dose. And it may be really helpful for you. You can use Krill oil instead.. we use one double strength MegaRed now instead of fish oil. I also eat more salmon than my husband does. Magnesium helps fish oil to get metabolized properly by the body.

Thankfully I've loved sardines since I was a little boy. Sardines are packed with Omega 3. I also really like mackerel which is high in Omega 3 as well. I eat about two cans of high quality sardines a week and mackerel once a week. Love them with hot sauce!

That hot sauce could be aggravating your PN symptoms.
Some people react to the nightshade veggies (peppers are part of that family.) I'd avoid it for a month and see if things get better without it.

The fish are good... but the hot sauce may not be agreeing with you now.
