Got my fingers crossed for you.
Also got them crossed for my sister who is now redundant but who has an interview on Monday.

Another 40+ today, so off to Bunnings for paint samples then an afternoon checking out SEEK, Monster and gisajob.com

I predict some bubbles may have to be consumed to facilitate the job application process.

Salmon and prawns for tea....yum yum <wereallyneedaneatingfoodsmiley>

Any ideas for stopping an eye twitch?

It is slowly but surely driving me insane Had an eye test - nothing physiological to cause it. Started back on the blood pressure meds (that I shouldn't really have stopped in the first place - whoops!), Dr thought that might stop it.... nope.

Reiki did stop it after a treatment, but can't afford $50 a pop to stop it for a couple of days at a time.

I am stressed (seems to becoming a permanent state for me lately ) I've cut down on my hours at work and am trying to take some more time for 'me', but it's really starting to get me down :$

Any advise? Other than gouge it out with a spoon?

Sometimes I get a madly twitching eyelid, or lip, or muscle in my arm. With the eyes it used to be because I'd been out in a cold wind, or had overstrained them squinting at things. ( I was short-sighted to the point of blindness before my cataracts were done.) Sometimes lying down with either a cool pack, or a tepid tea bag helped.

Currently I take the tiniest amount of dopamine- half a tablet. I have MS and this is supposed to help with muscle spasms. I have had less twitching, but not gone entirely. I'm not sure you want to take dopamine though!!

Forgot to add to my sister's woes- she is having another brain scan to see if the recurrent dizziness is another stroke. She is only 45 poor girl.

Sorry you are suffering from stress and have an eye twitch.

I can't promise instant relief but improvements should be felt after a few weeks if you take these vitamins or generous quantities of the foods that are rich in them:

Stress busting vitamins

Magnesium

Pica

Botox worked for a friend many years ago but I don't know her long term outcome-sorry.

Eye twitch... is usually down to stress, I've had it at stressed times but it does eventually go.

Try and take 10 mins for yourself each day and chill. Blackmores do a Stress Complex multi B fit which really helped me when we moved over here and was having a bit of a stressy time.

Hope it goes soon!

Thanks, Paulry.

I do take a Swisse multi-vitamin everyday and have heard that magnesium is supposed to help. Think I might go and see the pharmacist today and pick some up.

Thanks for the tips

Thanks Koalakim,

I have had it before and it has disappeared of its own accord, but this time it seems here to stay >.<

I am trying to have a positive attitude today and not let things get to me as much as they usually do. I can only try!

try cutting out caffeine and alcohol, cut down on watching too much tv or using the computer a lot. Get your eyes tested to make sure it's not eye strain. Get a good nights sleep.

try some of those hopefully one or more will do the trick

julesandco

Thank you.

I must admit - alcohol can be a bit of a crutch sometimes :$ Eyes were all OK. I do spend a lot of time on a PC/phone and will try and cut that down a bit too.
