Re: Eye Twitching
I live in Australia, and I asked the onc doctor today about eye twitching they were twitching like crazy for a week or so then it stopped just had 3rd chemo again today so will watch out for it, I asked them to check magnesium counts because if you are low it can make your eyes twitch my onc dr was going to check the magnesium count but she didn't get back to me today!! I asked her about aching feet too anybody else have that around day 14 15 for atleast 3 days

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

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.
