Guest guest Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 yes, I had the eye twitching. This is common due to Lyme according to LLMD.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 i had very minor eyelid twitching years ago when i had overgrowth of candida. this would happen whenever i ingested significant carbohydrates. eventuallly thru good diet and fresh aloe and wheatgrass juice and probiotics my candida became a non issue. william -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Hi Glenda. magnesium orotate is highly absorbed, especially when you chew it up. Had a friend who did mag injections and mag oro and said the mag oro worked just as well and costs alot less. You might try it. Some magnesiums are so crude your body can hardly use them. But mag oro goes into the blood and passes the cell wall and goes into the living things in the cell. Oxide, for instance, won't even penetrate the cell. Blessings Donna Eye twitches I have been experiencing some symptoms that look like they point to magnesium deficiencies. I have had very sore feet, gallstones, eye twitches (both eyes going at the same time to the point I can't keep them open) and sometimes kidney pain. I found a post (below) that says they needed injections to bring up the intramuscular magnesium level before the oral would absorb effectively. I was wondering how much of a difficiency would have to be before one would have to resort to injections? Someone on one of my lists said that sore feet and gallstones could be caused by a magnesium deficiency, too. Any input would be appreciated Glenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 has anyone else had eye twitches here. is this a result of toxicity and what do you take for it. Most people tell me it's a nervous thing but I don't believe it. Maybe allergy related? thanks so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Hi,I am taking double magnesium of my calcium 648mg/333mg. I have been at this dosage since the beginning. Could something have been happened to change my requirements for magnesium. The jumps in my body and legs that I used to have at night, have gone away. I can try changing the dosage of magnesium.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I had the eye twitching when I was first infected and it got worse from there (didnt find out what it was until 2 years later). Whenever we have any neurological or neuromuscular symptoms, its most likely due to some of the 73 different neurotoxins produced by candida both during overgrowth and die off. For me it was eye lid muscles, thigh muscles and lower leg muscles that had crawling skin, or what I called worms under the skin because that what it looks and feels like when it twitches. It can also present in the form of phantom pain and itching, such as burning in an extremeity or one side of the head, or I also had something that felt like I had a hair tickling the outside of my nose or face but there was clearly nothing there. So just chalk it up to a low level infection and keep up the probiotics and anti fungalsMJ @...: spence45011@...: Fri, 30 May 2008 07:01:01 -0700Subject: Re: [ ] Eye twitches Ellen,I had the eye twitching when I was low in magnesium!!ellen5683 <ellen2@...> wrote:Hi,I have had my left eyelid twitching for the past two weeks.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Ellen, I was doing the ionic footbaths, it was pulling minerals out!! Of couse I was not informed of this before doing them. It didn't take long for me to feel the affects of low magnesium!! I know if you don't have enough vitD, you will not absorb calcium or magnesium correctly. I'm sure Bee will have more insight than I, I just thought I would share my experience. You never know when it could be helpful to someone else. ellen5683 <ellen2@...> wrote: Hi,I am taking double magnesium of my calcium 648mg/333mg. I have been at this dosage since the beginning.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 HI Ellen, I had this happen to me not too long ago. My particular instance was I was not drinking enough water, and I was dehydrated. I was also experiencing a lot of floaters in that eye as well. As soon as I started drinking more water, both problems went away. Your situation might be different. Good luck, I have had my left eyelid twitching for the past two weeks. This is not retracing. Could one of my minerals be off balance? Glad you are back, Bee. Thanks always for your help. Good luck with getting settled. Thanks, Ellen " -) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 , It's funny that you said that about dehydration because I was just thinking this morning that maybe I am drinking too much water and the minerals are being flushed out. Thanks for your input. All is helpful. Thanks, Ellen " -) > > HI Ellen, > > I had this happen to me not too long ago.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Eye twitches are very often caused by pinched nerves. I had a non-stop one on BOTH lids of my left eye for two weeks (talk about annoying), till I had it adjusted (I work for a chiropractor). There are nerves in your neck that run through to your eye from C6 and C7. That is why it is thought to be stress relatted, because when you stress out your muscles tense up and can pinch up things.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Jefferson, I have done some research on genetically modified food and its effects on the human body. Sounds like you are describing what is know as Morgellon's disease. You may want to google this disease and find out if it is what you are suffering from. > > > I had the eye twitching when I was first infected and it got worse from there (didnt find out what it was until 2 years later).

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 eye twitches are caused by a pinched nerve in your neck; usually at about C7. I had one non stop for 3 weeks until a very good chiropractor adjusted me. They are thought to be associated with stress because stress and neck tension often go hand in hand Think about it. From: asensiblefellow & lt;tolivn@... & gt; Subject: [ ] Re: Eye twitches Date: Monday, June 16, 2008, 4:05 PM & gt; & gt; Hi, & gt; I still am having my eye twitches. The stopped for a few days but are & gt; still around now for about a month. I have increased my calcium as Bee & gt; suggested. I am taking enough magnesium also. I also have been & gt; irritable lately which is not like me. So these are two nerve & gt; problems. Any suggestions? & gt; Thank you, Ellen " -) & gt; Hi Ellen, Eye twitching is one of my symptoms too and I thought for the longest time that it had to do with my mineral balances. Then, recently, i began observing the pattern more closely of when my eye would twitch and it was always associated with disruption of sleep and added stressors. I find that when I take notice and reverse the pattern, within a couple of days of normal rest and reduced stress my eye stops twitching. It might be helpful to look at your life on the whole and see if any disruptions are correlated with the twitching and irritability. Our stomach may dictate much of how we feel but not all.
