Re: Eye Twitching

ABSOLUTELY I had major eye twitching starting at about my 3rd chemo treatment ) (taxoetere and carboplatin). It drove me absoltuely crazy! It did not stop until I was done with chemo and started radiation. GOOD LUCK - just make sure to get lots of rest so they don't twitch "so much". Unfortunately, there is no way to make it stop.

Re: Eye Twitching

I had this too, eventually it just stopped of its own accord.

Re: Eye Twitching

Another left eye twitcher here. I finished 3 rounds of taxotere almost 4 weeks ago and still have the twitch. It's not constant, but it is daily.

Re: Eye Twitching

I had it too. More rest helped quite a bit.
