Now, it twitches more went i shut my eyes tight. Its insanely annoying i must say. I do crack my back - could this have anything to do with it? I've had people tell me it could be sinus's but i wouldn't think that would make me twitch everywhere else. if it doesn't stop in a couple weeks, i'm taking this to the doctor. for about almost a month now, my eye has been twitching on and off. it also went to behind my ear, legs, back and arms.

It began as a simple twitch and now the left side of the face twitches along with the eye. There are times when my left eye is completely closed especially while eating or laughing. It's very embarrassing therefore I have stopped eating in front of even family members. I have tried the whole shbang of doctors: 2-3 diff neuros, homeopathic medicines, meditation etc..etc. Homeopathic meds have helped me but not cured it completely! I feel so tired on my left side of the face (becoz it's twitching all day) and have started becoming a bit anti-social...anyone, please help! Thanks!! Hello everyone:

I am 19, and in Feb / 08 I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy. I have since recovered with very little residual effects from this mysterious thing. Recently, I becan to notice that my eye (under my eye/ top of cheek) has been twitching. I anticipate that it is just the nerves twitching, and perhaps moving & functioning still in their healing process. Does anyone have any info or comments/ advice regarding this.

This has been a very useful thread for me, my left eyelid has been twitching for about three weeks and was getting worse everyday. I tried all those stress related advices, like relaxing, drinking lots of fluid, sleeping 8hrs, turning down my computer's brightness, n God knows wat not all but nothing was working. Then i read on this thread that it might be realted to nerve pinch coz of some neck or back pain and i have been having this neck pain for more than a couple of months. I was worried that it is due my workout at the gym or somethin. I did not wanted to see a doctor as m not insured(i know thats bad), so i used an old home remedy. what you do is sleep without a pillow on your back. It was quite uncomfortable the first 2 days but then on the third day my eyelid stopped twiching and its the first lovely twitch free weekend i had in a long time. Hope this might help.... Cheers!!!

I noticed relief after I drank only a couple of glasses full for two days. I still intend to have an evaluation for a pinched nerve by a reputable chiropractor after consult with my MD. Using TheraTears made it worse! Do research on quinine (even minimal amounts in the tonic water) and how it can relieve nerve and muscle spasms. It seems that it is not how much but how regularly I take it. Drinking Tonic water with quinine is a temporary help for me. I noticed relief after I drank only a couple of glasses full for two days.

The neurologist did minor test like looked into my eye and stuck me with a pin for sensitivity. Chiro use electro theraphy for a pinch nerve on the left side of my neck . I stop because i think he was a nut and it started to hurt more. Today i went to get a CT scan of my sinus orbit. will update . I read somewhere that an infected sinus can mess with the optic nerves. Long story short my body is out of wack. They say stop stressing about my eye my primarygave me a prescription called lorazepam for anxiety and stress took that twice. Still nothing positive.

I am a fellow twitcher also. A couple of months ago my lower right eye (in the bag area) started to twitch a few times a day and then became a constant twitch, 24/7. I thought it may be the antdepressants (amitriptyline) I started taking about 6 weeks before. I told my doc and he wanted me to take muscle relaxers which I didn't feel comfortable doing. So I cut back on my dose of antidepressants and within a week the twitching went away. But two weeks later I ended up with a case of conjunctivitis in both my eyes. Went to the ER and they prescribed me some srops. All was fine. Now the past week and a half the twitching is back, and my right eye started becoming red and irritated again. I went out and bought some artificial tears, it helps take the redness and dry feeling away for a bit but it does nothing for the twitching. The only thing that seems to help take the twitches away for a bit is having a warm shower. It subsides for a 1-3 hours. I guess it's time to make another doctor's appointment to get a referral to an opthamologist or try switching antidepressants, which I dread doing. It's too bad if it's the meds that are causing thisa s they were helping to alleviate my depression and anxiety, the first ones that actually worked any of the SSRIs did not agree with me :S Hi there.

Let me give some background, it might help other people figure out why they are twitching: i've been twitching for 2 and 1/2 weeks (feels like forever), got new glasses 3.5 weeks ago, got a new bright widescreen computer monitor 3.5 weeks ago, had extremely stressful last 3 weeks, eating healthy most of life (23 now), exercise off and on (on now for the last 4 months), I often don't get enough sleep. My twitch is in bag area of lower left eyelid, (imagine a line between pupil and tip of nose, right there!) Twitch is almost unnoticable in mirror, and not painful but annoying, it happens for a few hours a day, almost everyday. (Also upper left eyelid was twitching too at the beginning...pretty much in same line as I mentioned before, but it after about 1 week). I think its related to combined effect of stress and (for me getting new glasses), my intensity of twitching is decreasing since the end of my stressful time). A few things i've noticed, most people report stress, and lack of sleep (but not everyone), a few reported that twitching occured after getting new glassess (like me), also it seems evenly split left vs. right. In response to a poster above, here are links to chinese myths that say that left eye twitch = bad luck, right = good fortune coming, i've also found links that say the opposite left = fortune, right = bad ?!? http://www.twitchingeyelids.com/eyelid-twitching-superstitions.html http://www.quarterlifecrisis.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-5578.html Lets continue to get info, maybe we can figure this out.

Thanks God for the previous posts...I had no idea that "eye twitching" was so common. I understand from reading the previous posts that eye twitching can be caused by stress, lack of sleep and or vitamins, and pinched nerves. I do believe that any of the above could be the cause of my twitch, but wanted to ask if anyone out there has experienced an eye twitch after taking the sleep medication, Ambien? I was given a prescription of Ambien and two days later I had this annoying twitch. I know that there is a possibility that my eye was going to begin twitching even if I hadn't taken the Ambien, but the timing was impeccable!

I know that there is a possibility that my eye was going to begin twitching even if I hadn’t taken the Ambien, but the timing was impeccable!

Three weeks after my eye twitching started; my left side of face begun to pull. I went to the ER and they told me it would go away within a couple of weeks, but the ER doctor referred me to a neurologist. The neurologist performed an MRI and stated I was suffering from Hemi facial Spasm--which he says is caused from a misplaced nerve/blood vessel stem near or on the cerebral part of the brain. The Dr. placed me on some medicine named Carbatrol. I am afraid to take the medicine because of all of the warnings from FDA. I have scheduled a Dr. Appointment with my family doctor for a complete physical- and blood analysis. The neurologist did not test my blood, and the medication instructions specifically states, you must have a physical before being administered this drug. After researching the web, I think the face twitching may have been caused by stress (which I am under), but also a chemical imbalance which I may have indirectly caused. I noticed that if your electrolytes are off it affects your metabolism. Thus, causing Vertigo and yes you named it Eye Twitching. I have been taking water pills for months now, and probably depleted my potassium and electrolytes. Once I speak with my doctor regarding this I will keep you posted.

My bottom right lid has been twitching for 2 weeks now on and off. Not too worried about it (yet!) but Googled 'eyelid twitching' and ended up here. I think we're all going to live guys... just get some sleep, chill out and do some yoga....! Take care. Hey Eyelid Twitchers! My bottom right lid has been twitching for 2 weeks now on and off.

It has been three weeks, non stop, I fell almost three weeks ago and landed on my back....I'm wondering if the fall is connected to the twitching like he/she indicated. I'm heading to a chiropractor as my back and arm I caught myself with hasn't been right since. My twitch is also under my left eye...I've had twitching above the eyelid, but never in the BAG area like I do with this. Thanks for the site info.

It happened right after I got my new bi-focals. After a few days of wearing them I took them back in to say I was having problems in my right eye. They discovered that the prescription had my eye looking off to the right and not focussing in the center. Months later I was still having problems with upper eyelid twitching, distance was getting blurry and my eye was watering. I went into a medical eye doctor who diagnossed it as "fasciculation" not the blepspasm as my family doctor said it was. I was told to use a warm/cold wash cloth and natural tears for dry eye. Well I decided to try my old prescription that aren't bi-focals and I have noticed an improvement in my distance and the twitching is almost gone or only once a twice a day,not like several times a day. It would happen if I sneezed,rubbed my eyelid to put on eyecream,etc. So for now I am going to not use my bi-focals and use my older prescription and if it improves after all this time I am going back in to the place I got my glasses from and have them checked again. Hope this helps others.... I have had a upper eyelid twitching since October of 2007. It happened right after I got my new bi-focals.

After over 2 months the twitch in my lower left eye went away for the most part. Now, at tax time again, it has returned! Now it is in my upper left eye and I am feeling it even to the side of my nose. Almost makes that part of my face feel numb. AND in the last couple of days, the upper right corner of my lip has starting twitching! I swear, once you get it for a prolonged period, you become more and more vulnerable. I'm hoping it will virtually disappear too like last years, we will see. Good luck to all! I’ve posted here before, about a year ago (tax time).

I've had a twitch now for about 6 weeks that just seems to happen constantly. My personal opinion at the moment is stress and lack of sleep (particulary troublesome post Christmas 4 year old!) which I'm starting to get on top of but very interesed in the chiropractor information at the top. Anyway - that isn't the reason for the post. I've noticed in most of the posts that the twitch happens in the right eye, I know there are some in the left, but generally people seem to be mentioning the right eye and usually the lower eylid. Just an observation that might be of use somewhere down the line. Perhaps you could setup a poll? Good luck fellow twitchers.

That went on for about 9 months. Then more symptoms came! Tingling in my feet and weird sensations. I was very depressed and had visited many doctors who had told me it was depression that was doing these things to me and they tried to give me anti depressants like crazy! All they wanted to do was get me out of there offices as fast as they could!! They never wanted to figure out what was wrong with me and treat it! all they wanted to do was mask the pain! Then I went to a Neuroligist and he told me that it was stress or coffee!! I began getting dizzy spells and nothing was getting better! I gave up and just waited for death or what ever was to come!! Then the pains stopped amd the spazms came way less frequently till they stopped! I was happy for about 5 months! Now I have constant eye spazms! I read that people have had them for weeks but I have had them almost constantly for 3 months!! I would rather have them then the pain but most days I feel like cutting my eyelids off!!! It isnt exactly an eye spazm but more of a small cramping or tightening of the muscles around the eye! Im not going to the doctors because they will give me the same speech that Im not sleeping right or that Im not eating right!! I am an electrician and when I have a problem in my job like for instance if a light isnt working in a home and the home owner comes to me for help! I try to trouble shoot and fix the problem any way I possibly can! I take pride in what I do and if I didnt I shouldnt be doing it! So when the light needs to be fixed I dont tell the home owner that he or she should just buy I lamp for that room because it will be easier for me! NO! I fix the light one way or another!! I know that the humanbody is much more advanced than a simple light, but there only concern is how fast they can get you out the door!! I would have no problem if they would put some effort fourth!

Then I went to a Neuroligist and he told me that it was stress or coffee!! I began getting dizzy spells and nothing was getting better! I gave up and just waited for death or what ever was to come!! Then the pains stopped amd the spazms came way less frequently till they stopped! I was happy for about 5 months! Now I have constant eye spazms! I read that people have had them for weeks but I have had them almost constantly for 3 months!! I would rather have them then the pain but most days I feel like cutting my eyelids off!!! It isnt exactly an eye spazm but more of a small cramping or tightening of the muscles around the eye! Im not going to the doctors because they will give me the same speech that Im not sleeping right or that Im not eating right!! I am an electrician and when I have a problem in my job like for instance if a light isnt working in a home and the home owner comes to me for help! I try to trouble shoot and fix the problem any way I possibly can! I take pride in what I do and if I didnt I shouldnt be doing it! So when the light needs to be fixed I dont tell the home owner that he or she should just buy I lamp for that room because it will be easier for me! NO! I fix the light one way or another!! I know that the humanbody is much more advanced than a simple light, but there only concern is how fast they can get you out the door!! I would have no problem if they would put some effort fourth! Its there job! Thanks for listening!

[Do a www search] I was so impressed I had it done. The improvment was about 90%. The twitching is caused by inflamed nerve ending and inflamed tear duct ducts, The oitment cured this and took away the mild persistant pain. The cauterisation meant what tears I had did not drain away so quick, so my eyes were not so dry. All I now need to do is wipe my eyes daily with a wet, soaked in lukewarm water, cotton-wool pad to remain virutally sympton free. To recap diet aid/s did not help, nor did 3 years of Botox. The cause is a virus and the complaint is Blepharitus causing the tear ducts to partially close. Its incurable. Your eye moisture level is the key to any cure and washing your eye-lid-line area firmly each day kills billlions of germs. Extra natural tears helps - so, my thanks to the Surgeon for closing my tear drainage ducts. 90% cured I am, after 15 years of seraching. Some good news:

I am being treated for glaucoma in which I take medicine eye drops in only the right eye every day. I will call eye doctor to find out if this has any relevance to the glaucoma or possibly the eye drops. Since I have the glaucoma and am diabetic it does concern me and I will notify the doctor. I know that a twitching of the eyelid is usually a sign of being tired, but my problem is only the right eye and the lower part. I also only administer the eye drop to the right eye once a day. It's not constant but it has been happening on and off for a couple of days. I have also had a few headaches which I don't usually get very often. I also recently started on Lantus which is insulin for diabetic control. I have had a twitching sensation the past few days on the lower part of my right eye.

My work involves staring at the computer screen so I am sure this is a contributing factor, along with other common poor health symptoms like work stress, lack of sleep and sleeping late. But just right now, i sneezed and my eye has twitched again, rapidly, about 20 times! I came online looking for a solution and that led me here to Jason's blog. I have a favour to ask, Jason, can you please Highlight or put a page just for the eye twitching cures. This would be extremely helpful and will definitely push your blog tally to over 2000 viewers.

I've been so worried about my left eye twitching for weeks and thinking to see a doc. Before that I decided to do some research first and bumped into here. I guess it may be related to stress as the past month I had been rushing for a prototype which turned out to be failure. Then these 2 weeks I'm getting insane preparing for a speech contest, practising like hell... But maybe I'll still see a doctor anyway hopefully he'll give me some time off from work :p Wow! so happy to find fellow twitchers here.
