Twitching Eyelid

Postby jamesar » Fri 25 Sep 2009 7:59 am

Proper term is Blepharospasm. I have been having this twitching eyelid in my right eye (non-operated in eye) for 4 days now and am freakin out a bit!
Has anybody else experienced this problem? I need some soothing words :(

I get a twitching eyelid, usually when very tired or very stressed. it is as annoying as hell as I can see it happening, and on occasions my husband can as well :lol:

If you are at all concerned just give your opticians/eye clinic a call for reassurance.
Life is too short for drama & petty things!
So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly!

I´m not strange, I´m just not normal

Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad is a full minute of happiness you never get back

Yup; I'd pop along to the clinic for some reassurance, but like Liz, I get this twitch when I am overtired. There is never a convenient moment to start 'winking' at people :oops:

blepharospasm may be a bit of an extreme diagnosis for a twitching eyelid . have it looked at though always best to have peace of mind
