Nerve Issues From Chemo

[ginnyg898]

I completed chemo on January 18th and most of the side effects are gone by now. However, over the last 2 weeks or so my left lower eye lid has been jerking around and jumping like crazy...and this has been constant. It is driving me nuts and I really hope it clears up soon.

I assume this is nerve damage from the chemo...anyone have any experience with anything similar?

Hey Ginny,

Not sure if the eye tic has anything to do with chemo. It may be related to potassium level. I have this problem occasionally and eating a banana or drinking OJ helps. I take lasix which can deplete potassium.

Try increasing potassium through diet and see if that helps.
