Eye twitch redux

So it turns out it might not be stress or caffeine after all - I have low Calcium and Vitamin D levels in my blood.

So they whole 'let's drop milk and coffee to fix it' might actually have been the worse thing to do...also the general advice to reduce fat means you tend to avoid dairy (I'd thought I'd eat enough cheese to knock over a horse, though, and do) and don't drink milk means lower Calcium levels I guess, or I don't metabolise it as well....

Vitamin D I do know about, or guessed - hence more walking in the sunshine. So it's calcium tablets tomorrow...err, yum.

That's interesting. I've been all twitchy lately and assumed it was caffeine. Yet another reason to find another doctor.

Good luck with the tablets.
