Dear Dr. Stoll, Sometimes the area around one eye twitches. Sometimes it even extends halfway down besides my nose. a friend who sell suppliments said it was a lack of magnesium. I take some daily and it does seem to be worse when I don't take it. It sometimes worsens if I am nervous. Might this be the only cause and thus I should just take more magnesium? My family doctor doesn't seem to know what causes it.
Thank you Dr. Stoll for all your help now and in the past.
Lois

Dear Lois,
I used to get an annoying twitch in the muscles around my right eye. It was exacerbated by the huge amount of time I spend on my trusty IBM clone earning a living. It completely disappeared after I got enough intramuscular magnesium sulfate by injection (took about 4 months) to bring up my intracellar magnesium levels to the point that I could absorb oral magnesium effectively. The twitch is completely gone now, even during my work busy seasons. I'm sure that the magnesium got rid of it. Hope this helps.
Namaste' Kyra

Dear Lois,
Listen to Kyra. ALSO, this could not happen without total body bracing CAUSED by chronic stress-effect storage of the fight or flight effect in the hypothalamus.
It is just that low intracellular magnesium aggravates it. I would hate for anyone to think that even though magnesium can resolve this that that is the only contributing factor.
This is a message from your bodymind that worse things are coming if you do not discharge some of the stored stress-effect from the hypothalamus.
