Hoping some of you with all of your great info and experience can help:
Has anybody experienced eye twitching? If so, what did you do about it?
I'm not talking about the wriggling 'worms' and/or random jerks through the eye muscle that I've experienced on/off in the past, but now a pretty steady, all around the left eye except inner corner, TWITCH. So far I can still track and read, but it is getting annoying. Before I go to the neuro and/or LD with this symptom, I was interested to hear your comments.
This has been going on & increasing since Sept.
Thanks!

All I can tell you is for me it is a come and go symptom-left eyelid top mostly, sometimes bottom lid.
Not a constant 24/7 twitch-but one that would spring into action for about 5 minutes at a time, then stop. Seemed to cluster some days-then nothing the next day.
Happened mostly when I was on Mino. Has not occured since I stopped Mino.
Did you start any new meds?
I didn't do anything about it-except get a bit annoyed.
My LLMD always notes it on my symptom chart though when it does occur.
I think if I were to mention it to my opthamologist, who is totally lyme illiterate, she would probably answer something like "oh you're just tired"
Take Care, Cobby

Hi I have twitching all over, including the eye lid.
Take magnesium, that should control the twitching. I do a powder called CALM. If you take too much it will induce loose stools. If so, just back of a little.
good luck
Peace, BJG

I have eye twitching. I haven't noticed it for a while now, but there for a while I had it every day and yes, it's annoying.
I never did anything about it except tell my LLMD. I have Bartonella so that must be the cause.

Flagyl caused this very very bad. Do a search.
