Re: Selenium, magnesium and eye twitching

[Guest guest]

Thanks Ellie for sharing your story with us. I'm so sorry to hear

about your many troubles all due to dentists!

I did stop taking the selenium picolinate several days ago. (I still

haven't figured out if it's organic or inorganic, by the way).

I took one glass of magnesium oxide but for the life of me, this

mixture tastes so nasty, I just can't down it! (I'm gonna have to get

a different magnesium, once I figure which form is best. Malate?

Oxide? Carbonate? Magnesium malate did eliminate all my fibromyalgia

pain when I took that last summer.)

As a result of these changes, my eyelid has stopped twitching but it

still pulsates. By that I mean at the same spot (center top eyelid) I

get a pulsation and it feels as if it were going to start twitching

but it does not. I went to the mirror and there are no visible signs

of the pulsating. I think even this is fading away.

My guess is it's stopping the selenium that did it because I haven't

been consistent with taking the magnesium although I do know, as Bee

reminded me, that eye twitching can be a symptom of magnesium deficiency.

Time will tell for sure which one it was for me. I must say that I've

had eye twitching before and never took individual selenium

supplements before, this was a first as I kept reading about it and

how good an antioxidant it was supposed to be. (Unless a multiple

vitamin might have been the culprit then? Some do contain selenium). I

will only report back if I figure this out, so that it helps someone else.

Best of health to you, Ellie.

Chris.

==>please see the supplements I recommend in my main article

which describes exactly what you need to get - clue it's cal and mag

citrate or make your own from eggshells.
