Title: Eye Wig-out?
Post by ArCane on Feb 14^th, 2005, 11:08am

Ive been having CH since I was 17 years old (22 now) and I have learned alot about them. However Im not as experienced as some of you 10-30 year vets. I have a question, before you start your cycle have you guys ever had your eye wig-out? It feels like a little spasm in my right eye that lasts for about a second. It happens a few times everyday. I have the CH on my right side. There is no pain involved in the spasm. It has been since summer since I had a cycle and Im due for another anytime now. Just wondering. Thanks all.

Best Wishes and PF vibes to all,
Allen

Do you mean a twitch? I get twitches before and during a cycle.

Its hard to describe something like this in words, but sure, twitch would be one way to describe it.

I get them every once in awhile. I dont think it has ever happened during my cycle or before it. I always attributed it to lack of sleep or stress.

I think i have that, but not on a hit, just on my normal days. i also think thats for the lack of sleeping time and stress that i get. Somekind of a side-effect from CH.

I have a twitchy eye most of the time, I'm chronic. Now that I think about it though, I have not had any twitches in the last few days. I've had success with kudzu (see the meds board) and along with almost no CH pain, the twitch is gone.

My eye has been heavily twitchy for the last week.
I am taking it as a sign of things to come and preparing.

I'm chronic, and get the twitchy eye, a day or so before I get hit. It also means that the preventative has stopped working.

I get the twitches, left eye, right under the bottom lid. Chronic here as well, and it seems to come before a particularly bad day/s strech of hits.

Thanks for all the replies. You guys, of course, are the best ;). Have a good one.

the twitching could be the result of looking at your computer monitor or tv for longer periods of time. Computers for the most part use a tech. called progressive scan, and thus refresh the screen over a 100x in one second. You may not notice it, but your eye is trying to refocus each and everytime.

Or it could be the beginning of the cylce.
