Does anybody else share this symptom: a twitching right eyelid; & now in the left eyelid too. It occurs on both bottom & top eyelids.
I am on several meds for Diabetes 2: insulin (Humulin M3), Victoza, Metformin; plus Statin meds for high cholesterol.
Has anybody else experienced this symptom?
This has been gong on now for about 6 weeks, getting worse recently. Now the 'flickering' is affecting the left eyelid as well as the right! :-(
The twitching is visible in the mirror, i.e. can be seen by observers; so I'm not imagining it! Ha-ha! ,-/
I had an OK result for my last retinopathy appointment in July; so don't think retinopathy can be the cause.
Note re insulin dosage: I am taking 2 doses per day of 58 units each dosage/titration (which is only just below the maximum possible titration i.e. the 60 units that the pen can be set to as a maximum). So that's a pretty high dosage!!
Maybe that dosage is too high?
My BMs are not yet at a satisfactory level, although they are getting closer to the NICE target; so I'm wondering if I'm on the correct meds / the correct titration of meds / the correct combination of meds.
On the next appointment with the diabetes specialist I will mention it; but that's not for a while.
Any help?!
