nystagma,dizzy,jitters,loss of balance,

[avacado]

hi,
I had put in a question about my eyes flicking back and forth the past couple days. I was told rhis was called nystagmus. After some internet research-I found that  my symptoms being dizzyness, loss of balance at times, jitters, and this eye thing may be all caused by a thiamin or/and magnesium deficiency. I am also nursing a 6 month old and stopped taking my vitamins a couple of months ago and I've been exercising at least 5 days a week. What do you think? I sceduled a doctors appontment. but it is not for another week.

You may want to take a Vit. B-complex; nervous eye twitching has been linked to a Vit. B deficiency (personal experience). Quote:"Vit. B12 deficiency can cause abnormal gait, chronic fatigue, constipation, depression, digestive disorders, DIZZINESS, drowsiness, enlargement of the liver, EYE DISORDERS, hallucinations, headaches, inflamation of the tongue, irritability, labored breathing, memory loss, moodiness, nervousness, neurological damage, palpitations, pernicious anemia, ringing in the ears and spinal cord degeneration."Unquote.

Do you have heart palpitations? These can cause you to become magnesium deficient.  I had the same problem after surgery.  500 mg. of magnesium/day is helping me some.  I took them to help stop the palps, but maybe my nystagmus was caused by low mag as well....I'd try it.  It doesn't hurt you, but you might want to see if it's okay for the baby.
