I've been dealing with this for about 20 years, im currently 34. Twice a year. Lasting anywhere from 2 weeks to usually 2 to 3 months at a time. Some days its a few flutters others its going all day. If something comes to close to my eye like my hand or anything being thrown, even if I get hit from playing around, it will set it off to twitch like crazy. I don't know what makes it stop or go away. Always felt it was a seasonal thing. But then I thought it was stress or lack of sleep. I honestly don't know. I don't drink coffee or tea. I know I've already struggled with sleep. Maybe it could be a combination of thing like lack of sleep & stress. As of lately I've able to get more sleep, just waiting on it to stop.

This is the same thing for me at school it is very bad and the twitching has developed over quarantine. I know how to trigger it also by blinking hard and it also pops up at random times and when things comes close to my face for example if someone hugs me or pretends to punch me when I flinch is triggers it and it’s annoying. I am currently taking magnesium bisglycinate for 4 days and I’m gonna see what happens in a week for any changed. I really want it to stop.

@@clairekershaw8903 hi it’s been about 1-2 weeks since I have taken the magnesium and speaking of today I’ve seen some changes. At times when I would expect my eyes to twitch it didn’t. I recommend not constantly taking them until u see changes. Try taking a break with the supplements as you do not want to over take. At the beginning I was taking 2 a day then after like 4 days I took one at night as these have 375mg in them which is a lot and more than what you get in your average food. Today I tried squeezing my eyes to see if it twitches and it didn’t twitch at all so I am thankful I will keep updating but I’m happy with what I have right now.

I have had this eyetwitch/spasm for 3.5months. I sleep pretty well, but have spinal disc problems so right now I take ibuprofen to go to sleep. I need to cut out caffeine! I have always operated at a moderate to high level of stress. I allow myself to stress over challenges because it is usually productive - it helps me solve things quickly. I wouldn't consider myself super stressed right now by any means...there have been far more stressful times in my life. My brother says I'm just getting old, which is true (we all arrive there if we're lucky). What's strange with mine is I distinctly remember back in November on the onset of this ailment that I had a stabbing pain so powerful it made me nauseous, it was in the middle of the night, and I thought I was going to be hospitalized. Took about 10 minutes to fully recover but since I've had twitching, and one or two more stabbing pain episodes that were a bit less intense. It feels like there is something in my eye and at night especially I concentrate trying to make sure I'm not moving my eye back and forth or it can cause pain.

My lower right eye lid has been twitching for a week now. I'm so paranoid people can see it. I have glasses but didn't wear them much and I haven't been sleeping that well for a while now and I havent been able to exercise as much as i use to because im tired after work. Since the twitching started I've been wearing my glasses constantly at work to try and hide it and stop the strain on my eyes. Really trying my hardest to sleep more and I exercise at least on the weekends. I've also brought a warm heat compress to use at bedtime. I'm also taking vitamin C, D and b12. My doctor said I need to wait at least a month before he can refer me for botox. I'm just praying that it'll disappear soon! 😔

I've had eyelid spasm nonstop for 8 months+. Not a small eyelid twitch, but full movement in the two eyelids. Only when my eyes are closed. Wake up every day with super dry eyes too. Fullblown disease known as "begnign essential blepharospasm" is different though. Self-limiting myokimia it is not either. So I don't what I suffer from and how it will go.

Hi Amy, I tend to take into account an individuals lifestyle and whether it is consistent with stress being the cause (it isn't always), as well as how long it has been going on for. If the stress factors are constant then it may make sense that the twitching may continue for a more extended time. I would be suspicious if perhaps after a several weeks of removing all stress factors or if there were no obvious signs of stress to begin with that it may be more of a neurological issue, for which I would refer them on for further investigation. If MS was a concern I'd be looking for other eye related signs and symptoms as well as other general complaints. The worse case of eyelid twitch I have come a cross was actually a lady that I worked with. After many neurological test, including head scans, no sinister cause was found and she was treated with Botox injections to the affected eyelid (redone periodically) and that solved her issue.

Couple months ago I started a new position and the stress/anxiety triggered my lower right lid to spasm. It went away after a while and would come back on occasion. Currently not working. Recently I tried pinching a very VERY tiny bump at that corner (should've left it alone, very vain of me), and I noticed since then that lower lid would spasm more often. It's to the point where I can't even sleep on my right side or else it would trigger the spasm. Stress, sneezing, and squeezing my eyes shut irks it as well. Could I have disrupted a nerve or maybe it's an underlying concern?

However, even before consuming the medicines, I was experiencing relief through meditation, sports, prayers and yoga. The pain has diminished to a large extent. With faith, everything is possible.

My left top eyelid has been twitching periodically for almost the last 2 months. Over the last few days, my lower right eyelid has started feeling numb at times. When it does that, I notice the left top eyelid starts twitching. I was more stressed than normal when this started (not anymore), unfortunately work about 50-60 hours a week in front of a computer, and get only around 6 hours of sleep a night. All of those could be factors on why the twitches are still happening. I've tried using lubricant eye drops four times a day (which helps for a short time), massaging my eyelid with a warm washcloth, and recently started drinking 16 oz. of tonic water a day as I heard that could help. I'm considering going to my eye doctor to get it checked out. Is there any other advice that you'd recommend to eliminate the issue? Thanks!

That’s definitely a good idea, to get checked out. I’d also cut out stimulants like coffee and Redbull if you are using them to get through the days.

@@JaHm3sZ I actually had to cancel the appointment because it stopped! I did eye exercises that I found online for about 2 1/2 weeks. After about two weeks, it went down to twitching twice or three times a day. A few days later, it just stopped completely! After 3 1/2 months of dealing with the constant twitch, it was one of the best days of my life haha.

I think you doctor is just being cautious. The twitching and the blurring could just as easily be unrelated issues. At least the tests will give you piece of mind.

Is botox done by a doctor or optician? Surely it's a lower strength than usual cosmetic botox? I've had eyelid spasms for a little over a year now in one eye, every day, sometimes it's a few times a minute, others it's just a few times a day. I feel like it's making my eyelid become more hooded now 😭 I've limited stress and already practice mindfulness, I consume minimal caffeine and I get loads of sleep. I do however work shifts, 2 days 2 nights 4 off. I use a screen filter at work to reduce blue light glare. I don't know what's causing it but after a year I'm finding it really irritating!

Hi. It would be a specialist ophthalmologist and the use case of Botox here would be for medical purposes. It would also usually take place once any other causes of the twitching have been ruled-out.

According to me I believe I have Ramsey syndrome I can’t blink with my right eye I can’t smile with the right side of my mouth and now I have eyelid twitching, I believe it is caused by caffeine I drink a lot of tea during the day and one cup of coffee in the morning , I sleep well, so for me it is stimulants, But I don’t know if Ramsey syndrome has anything to do with it.

HEY, DOC ! 😷 I've got this Twitching since Years now. It comes and goes... You know those electric Zapper-Pens that you can use for Mosquito stings to stop them from itching ? I use it when I've got my left lower Eyelid Twitching. ZipZap that Muscle a few times, maybe repeat and it's gone for a while. Seems to work....most of the time.🤔 ...or shouldn't I do that ? What do you think ?
