Oh mother fucker.

My left eyelid has been twitching for four weeks.

And apparently, the twitch has travelled to under my right eye and is twice as bad as the left eye. FML

[cbwm1]

And now both eyes are twitching. Imma go cry now.

Stressed more than usual?  Not sleeping well so added more caffeine to your diet?

Try adding some extra potassium, it might help.  

All of the above.

I'll destroy some bananas tomorrow.

I know everyone says potassium and it may be that, but I take a magnesium supplement and when I don't take it for a few days, I get weird twitches on my face/body.

Omg. I absolutely hate the continual eye twitch.

Usually, about the time I think "holy crap, maybe I actually have to see a dr," the twitch randomly stops. Maybe try that strategy?

(I don't know what a dr would do about it but the thought starts to occur when I get a little desperate.)

[cbwm1]

Okay. Magnesium too. Got it.

So irritating! My eyes twitched almost the entire time I was in graduate school. I was absolutely convinced that there was something very wrong with me. Nope. Just stress...LOTS of stress. It went away almost immediately after graduating.

Hope your's stops soon! It's maddening.

[bonquiqui]

2.5 bananas a day 

seriously i hate that

The last time I hadn't taken my magnesium for a few days, I got a weird twitch in the back of my throat. It was freaking me the fuck OUT. Yeah, magnesium deficiency.

How about wine?

I am currently drinking so that I'll be able to pass out when we go to bed and not think about it.

Vitamin water. Check. I'll send DH to the store first thing in the morning.

I had a stress induced eye twitch. Hydration, extra magnesium, even more sleep didn't help. Eventually it went away on it's own. After more than 6 weeks.

Tonic water! I had a twitch that lasted over a month and my eye Doc recommended tonic water. My twitch was gone almost immediately.

WTF is tonic water?

like, the same thing in a gin and tonic?

yay for alcohol, because it's subsided for now. I will try all the things tomorrow.

Yup, same thing. I would have a glass without the booze first followed by a gin and tonic. He explained that the quinine in the water helps.

That suuuuuucks. I got twitches in my shoulder last year when I wasn't sleeping well.

I had the same thing, it was totally stress-related because I tried everything. Eventually things with my job calmed down a bit and all was well again.

[cbwm1]

This may be a coincidence, but I've eaten a banana and am drinking vitamin water with a bunch of potassium and for now, the twitching has stopped!

The twitch on my right eye eventually stopped last night, but the left one (the one going on for four weeks) was still going earlier.

And I just jinxed myself. I'm back to twitching.

OMG I had an eye twitch that lasted so long, I had a ticker in my sig. It went away after several months.

Hope you are soon twitch-free!

[wowhead]

Have you been using any new products on your face? I had a mascara that caused my eye to twitch. Stopped using the mascara and the twitch went away in no time.
