My idea: Go to the doctor. Don't use a webboard as a diagnostic vehicle.

Wow. There is a correlation between my eye twitching and my new vegan diet. I wish I hadn’t been totally embarrassed by the above user comments and deleted my post. I found several sources online and will now find a good source for vitamin B. If that doesn’t clear it up then I go to my doctor to see if anything else can be done. I’ve read a few times that vegans and vegetarians need to take vitamin B and now I completely understand why.

Maybe some folk need to remember that some of us are totally new to this vegan concept and have questions regarding the changes in our bodies.

You asked for ideas. You're not required to like all the ideas that come up, but the idea I presented was a valid one.

I’m not sure that it was valid. It would be silly to run to the doctors every time I notice something different with my body especially when I’m changing my diet so drastically. I try to be proactive with my health thus this conversion to being vegan. And, since a huge group of us have started this change at the same time, this forum was a natural place to begin my questions.

Okay, I’m done and won’t say anymore in this thread.

I didn't read your original post. What do you mean by "eye-twitching"?

I've had occasional eye-pulsing (throbbing?) episodes since I was a teen. I've never thought much of it, except that it was weird. I don't even remember if it started before or after I became a vegetarian. I don't think it's happened in the 3 weeks since we went vegan, but now you've got my curiosity up.

Side Note to Serene: The Houston Press did a cover story a few months ago about Dr. Google. Your admonishment just reminded my of it. I have to admit, I usually consult the internet first because I think if I go to the doctor he's just going to write me a scrip even if there was a more natural cure.
