Beatrice

I went to the doctors this week. It was for a complaint so minor that it barely even registers on the annoyance scale, but it has been going on for over 6 months, and when I was having physio on my broken ankle they suggested that if it continued I should get it checked out.

I have a flutter in my left eyelid. Not all the time, but certainly most days. It started about the time I fell and broke my foot, and at first I attributed it to stress, or lack of sleep while wearing a plaster cast.

I'd got that far with the story to the GP, who stopped me to ask more about the fall. He was concerned that a fairly simple fall, not even from a great height, in a 50+ year old, had resulted in a fracture. And so he wants to send me for a bone density scan. He also suggested that facial tics can sometimes be as a result of lack of calcium - did I eat dairy products? Yes I do, lots of them. How about Vitamin D? In fact, I take a daily Vit D supplement. So it looked unlikely that I'd be low on calcium, but I had a blood test just to be sure. The results of that are just in, and I'm normal (or whatever passes for normal in these parts).

Looks like I may just have to put up with it.
