My Most Popular Post - Eye Twitch?
Author: Jason21 Dec
A few weeks ago I installed a WordPress plugin that will list the most popular posts on your blog based on post views. The numbers it reports are as of the time it was installed. My most popular post was one I almost didn’t write. I was experiencing an eye twitch for a prolonged period of time, and I felt the need to vent about it a little bit. As it turns out, in the past three weeks, that post has been viewed more than 1380 times, which is more than double that of my next most popular post. The Eye Twitch post also has 128 comments on it as of the time I write this, which is far more than any other post here.
This makes me wonder if there’s a real need for people with eye twitches to have a site that would allow for a community to thrive where people can support one another and help to collect information about this affliction. Since I really have no desire for this blog to become a touchstone for the eye twitch community, it makes sense to try to redirect the energy that is going into all of the wonderful comments on that post to a more appropriate forum. I’ll have to work on that.
What strange things we learn when we start posting personal gripes for all to see!

But yes, maybe someone should start a BB support group for eye twitch sufferers.

It has only been getting worse. today is day number 5, it will twitch really erratically for 5-10 sec. 5 secs is bad but 10 secs, make me just stop whatever i was doing to attend that. on the first day i experienced it was pretty consistsnt through out the day. straaaange...
but then over the next few days its to the point where when it twitches it out weighs when it doesnt twitch. its the worst !!! and very trouble-some. what if this does not go away? am i just going to have to deal with it? its like the itch on your palm or the bottom of your foot. its that fucked up nose hair that grows in askew. its just the worst!

This twitching can be reduced to bare minimum without taking any medicine
What you have to do is
1. Put your ring finger in the right ear tightly so that nothing can be heard thru it. breath deeply by closing your eyes for about 15 minutes. u can practice as much as possible intervels. By closing right ear & eyes more flow exists towards left eye which makes eye nerves set to adjust themselvs.
2. Don't take coffee, cool drinks, lemon
3.eat a banana and wash face more frequently
Reply me if u have any clarifications

I write this post for those out there who feel as frustrated at the medical profession as I do. Chiropractors have been stereotyped as quacks, and I've even been to one in my search for a cure. Find a REAL one who is a liscensed Physician. It has made all the difference in the world.

I think I'll try more water and less caffeine. the pinched nerve idea is interesting, but I am not comfortable w/ chiropractors, so not willing to try that yet.

I am so glad that I researched enough to find fellow eye-twitchers. I have suffered off and on since May, 2006. I tried potassium, B-12, Calcium, no caffeine and I am not sure which worked, but I have been twitch-free since June, 2006. Oh, I have an occasionaly twitch, but it lasts for 5-10 seconds and then it goes away. Before my twitches ended, they were constant, 24-7 and I thought I would go crazy. I was about to call a neurologist when I found this website and other similar ones that let me know I was not alone. I was terrified that I had some sort of incurable disease or something. I needed some support and found it here. I don't believe that it is caused by stress, lack of sleep, etc., because I was getting plenty of sleep and was not stressed.

I posted my twitch back in June (post numbers 373 and 381) My twitch was gone in a few days but I kept this Blog on my desktop and read it periodically. I find it interesting and some of you twitchers are hilarious with your wording, I mean that in a feel good way.(Utah, Wilson post 433) I laughed out loud with your comment about your Mom,(still giggling) everyone in the office heard me.
I can empathize with all of you twitchers, as I feel I am a recovering eye twitcher, because you really never know if you will fall off the eye twitching wagon again...

Well, just like the way you have been trying to find out bout eye-twitching..same goes with me, that's how i landed here!
My right eye has been twitching on and off since the past month.
But i agree that its bcoz of stress, coz i sleep for jst 4hours a day.
Would also like to share this: in the olden days, some indians used to say that if the eye twitches (right eye for a female, left eye for a male) something good is goin to happen! Dont really know how far it's true.. bt as for me, whenever my right eye twitches, good things have been happening :)
Cheers!
