It seems that muscles surrounding my eyelashes, or what used to be my eyelashes, spasm or twitch. If it gets really bad, which is rarely, my vision is effected. I finished chemo a couple of weeks ago, and since this has been going on for a couple of months, I assumed it was due to Taxotere or Carboplatin. Perhaps others here can lend their experience with this problem. -Frances -- -Frances Bartels *** ki0dz@...

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Eyelids twitching are one of the red flag symptoms for hyper BUT I've also had them when adjusting meds. I use that particular thing to help me monitor when it's time for an adjustment... as long as I have the intermittent twitches, it's too soon for my body to be comfortable with the next adjustment. I'm hyper sensitive to adjustments, so this may not be the same for others... They were so bad when I was in storm that there were times that folks that I was winking at them.... heehehheeh now they are just little things that are really hard for anyone to notice but me.
