What causes eye twitching?
 

What fixes it?

I can see my right eye lid twitching since maybe yesterday.

Once or twice my left eye as well.

I don't feel like looking for the last thread we had on this.


I'm dehydrated. . . don't drink enough fluids . . . . hard to explain why . . . .too much trouble to go to the rest room when I am out and out of the habit when I am home.

M.

is it your eye brow?
sometimes nerves can cause us to twitch, being anxious
I have had twitching before when I was manic...
low potasium levels can cause cramping, don't know about twitching.
I am not much help...sorry
and Drink more water!!!!!
your body needs water above anything to function properly...
nurse hat off.

ok
 

Thank you.
I'm eating a bowl of a cup and a half of endamame for a total of 1000 mgs of potassium). :Starvin:

I remember.....
 

.......several years back, my eyelid twitched non-stop and I finally figured out in my case it was too much caffeine and not enuf sleep......

It can really get irritating I know!

Edamame beans also have magnesium in them. That also helps with twitching muscles.

Another high potassium source is V8 juice.

dear Mari

i too have had twitching in the past. i figured it was probably a magnesium thing after caving to a prolonged milk craving - [I]and then realizing hey! it's stopped. and that time it had got much worse than other spells - both eyes, almost all the time, and larger muscles (glut, thigh, i couldn't even sit comfortably sheesh!)

didn't know about the potassium but good to know.

i also get leg cramping in the morning sometimes when it is bad, and magnesium fixes that.

i take effervescent supplemtents of
-- mag + potassium (here given as a rehydration supplement)

having run out of that i now take
-- effervescent mag b1+b2+b6

i will have to look up your beans. the effervescent tabs i mentioned were bought "accidentally" by mom, and have yucky sweeteners in them. i am "finishing them off" before getting better ones because supplements are so expensive.

i hope the twitching stops soon. it is so annoying.

Hi Rrrae!! :hug:

MrsD what lovely snowdrops!

My bet is on fatigue and/or too much caffeine... I had the eye twitching for a couple of weeks, and my neuro told me not to worry because of that reason.

It is annoying and concerning. I hope it stops quick!

It's kind of scarey. Both of my eyes have twitched from side,to side before. At the same time I felt the back of my neck shaking. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Hi,

I take 2.5 mgs of CALM -- magnesium citrate in water every night w/ my night meds.

No caffeine.

I am surely lacking in sleep . . . .getting close to thought disturbances. I don't know how to fix my intense desire not to sleep.
