Title: Facial Issues
Post by: tu on December 23, 2014, 08:49:37 pm

Hi everyone,

Just want to share my 3 year post radiation treatment. Had recent mri about 3 weeks ago. no growth is shown compared to the past 4 mri. Issue that im having is on AN side facial twitching corner of mouth, lower right eye twitching, metallic taste on right side of tongue, minor numbness behind right ear. Twitching worst when 1st awake. dont feel the twitching when sleeping. feels that twitching relieves with rest and coffee. Wish you all best, thank you.

I am almost two years post GK and just started having twitching and facial spasms earlier this month.  It happens mostly in the morning for me too.  I've heard that this is an uncommon side effect, but it seems a lot of people have posted with it, and that it usually goes away on its own.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
