Blinking tic caused by water fasting?

Hello,

I have been water fasting since June 2016. I have done a handful of prolonged fasts (21-30 days) and several shorter fasts (5-14 days). I noticed during my first fast that I developed a sort of blinking tic which I never had before. It took several months for it to get better but it still has not completely gone away and whenever I fast it gets really bad. I also get really bad air hunger. Not sure if any of it is related.

Thanks!

How are your electrolytes, particularly magnesium?

@Yasemin have you heard of this before? I haven’t.

I don’t know, that might be worth checking. It would make sense since I get a lot of muscle cramps/ spasms (particularly in my calves). I heard blinking tics might be related to a B1 deficiency but I haven’t been able to confirm it in my case. Thanks for the suggestion!
