i get eye twitching too

Seriously, I don't want to sound like a broken record but even in healthy people muscle twiches can be due to vitamin def. Carol have you ever been tested for absorption issue or vitamin deficiency??

I get this too,quiet a bit. It is like a twitch close to the lashes and she just twitches away. Cools it for and hour maybe then goes again. This can last for days.
Is that what you experiencing? I've had it happen on other parts of the body also. You mean this may be part of MS?

I use to get this early in my dx. but dos not happen much now.
If your concerned maybe give your neuro a call.

all that i know that i've been tested for is B12 and the test was normal. should i aske my neuro for additional blood tests?

If your interested you can look at my "absorption cycle" post.
You need to have a bunch of Bcomplex vitamins (ie B5, B6, B12), folic acid, calcium, vit D, essential fatty acids (good fat)and minerals like Selenium(Se), Magnesium, etc ALL working together for you to have better health.

If you look at the latest reply29- You see per gov studies that steriods reduce absorption/metabolism of Calcium(needed for B12 absorp) and vit D. Then John hopkins says that seriods cause side effects like: bone thinning, weight gain, easy brusing, mood swings, insomnia, glucose(sugar)intolerance, etc
how many people with MS have these symptoms even before steriods..seems like quite a few.
Is it that far of a stretch that maybe a contributing factor of MS MIGHT be an absorption problem that leads to malnurishment at the CELL level. This lack of nutrients keep body from replicating and repairing itself properly. It is a THEORY that I have not Blown any holes in so far so we are pursuing testing to FIND OUT IF it might be contributing factor in my husband's MS.

These twiches may be MS..would not surprise me. My question is IF MALabsorption is part of the MS that leads to all these symptoms??? Seems very plausible.

If you want more info go to my "Absorption Cyle" post. If you don't thats fine too.
