laRubiaBonita Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 my left eye has been twitching for almost 2 weeks now. today is the worst it has been. it is not really noticable, unless you are me, but it is sooo annoying! ;) i am not unduely stressed out or anything, then i thought maybe it was pms or allergies ... but now i just want my eyelid to be still! ;)
dropdeadlegs Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 I don't know what causes "twitchy eye syndrome" and I get it pretty frequently myself. I don't think mine has ever lasted for weeks, but definitely for days. My mother used to say it was indicative of not getting enough sleep. Since many of us live sleep deprived lives there could be some truth in that. Hope it stops, NOW!
cuteblondegurl Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Eye twitching can be very annoying. I've been dealing with it since 99. It started as a sporadic twitch but worsened over the years. It can be attibuted to many things such as too much caffeine, stress, lack of sleep, staring at a PC screen too long, or neurolgical issues. I had MRI and the doctor could not find anything wrong. So, I scaled back on the caffeine and I've learned to control my stress levels. It has helped a lot. The spasms are not as obvious anymore.
Tony T Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 There are many things that can cause eye twitching. Look over the list in this link and see which one fits you. The go to an excellent eye doctor, get properly diagnosed and get treatment so you won't have to be haunted with it anymore: http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/symptoms/eye_twitching/causes.htm
pelagicsands Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 So... has it stopped, yet? And how are you dealing with all the unwanted boy attention? Silly me. Some of them might be "hits."
alphamale Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 my younger brother who is an oculo-plastic surgeon says these are common among people. its just a muscle spasm not unlike you'd get in any other part of the body. sometimes i get them and they last for a few days and then go away.
Author laRubiaBonita Posted June 4, 2007 Author Posted June 4, 2007 my eye finally has stopped twitching! i have attributed it to the stress of my move this past saturday. now that is done, and my eye is calm... yay!
hotgurl Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 my BF eye used to twitch and he cut back on caffeine and it stopped.
lrae Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 I used to get that at University - so I am pretty sure it was stress related for me. At one point (during a Calculus mid-term go figure?) I thought I was having a stroke!! My eye was twitching uncontrollably and then the whole RH side of my face was twitching and eventually it all went numb. It took me off my stride for a bit - but I did regroup! You should have seen the looks I got from the Prof!

Author laRubiaBonita Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 well i spoke too soon about the absence of the twitch... it is back, or just off and on rather. Now I kinda think it may have to do with allergies. Yesterday I was out at the pool all day, and it was spasming with a vengeance, but I also noticed a good amount of pollen in the pool water. it was better this morning, but it is starting to twitch slightly now.
choragicwands Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 spasming with a vengeance, I can't wait for the movie to come out.
