My lower eyelid is twitching and it is driving me batty!

[nytemare]

Anyone else get twitchy eyelids?

:banghead: :banghead:

[KitchenWitch]

1. Yes, I hate it too!

Both upper and lower twitches...:grr:

[nytemare]

5. I must be tired or something.

It has been twitching for about 4 days now. Sometimes I get the upper, most times lower. Usually it is my right eye.

:shrug:

[hippywife]

2. Yep.

Happens to me sometimes, too. Will go on for an hour at a stretch and drives me nuts!

[nytemare]

6. Dang eyelids!!

Why can't they just blink like they are supposed to and leave us alone!

[hippywife]

8. I wish I could

figure out why it does that. It's only my lower right one. I think it's kinda scary.

[nytemare]

10. That's the one bugging me.

Maybe it is the eye flu.

[Err]

3. I had that all of last week until yesterday.

My lower-left eyelid just kept twitching and I didn't know why.

Stress, maybe? :shrug:

[nytemare]

7. Could be.

I am pretty pooped, so maybe you were too.

People think I am trying to wink at them...LOL.

[Deja Q]

4. Not for a while. The parts of me that do twitch aren't any better though.

:( (legs, left arm, left ear... maybe my bionics are failing... :shrug: )

[nytemare]

9. Maybe not enough potassium?

I take a multivitamin, but who knows. Do you take enough potassium?

11. Can be caused by glare from your computer screen or a window behind your

screen.

I get it sometimes, too.

12. My son has been complaining about this for the last 2 weeks.

Started about the same time he started applying for jobs. I think it's stress,
on edit that sounds unfair to him. He's been hospitalized 3 times in the last 2 years, and now is stabilized sort of.

[Scout1071]

13. Stress.

Mine are caused from stress. Have to make a change when that starts happening.

Good luck.

[GOPisEvil]

14. Yep. When I've not gotten enough sleep, or am stressed, I get one.

Left upper eyelid, specifically.

[nytemare]

15. I haven't rested very well lately.

I am headed to a sleep test in December to see if I have apnea because my memory is shit. Maybe that could explain it.

[eyepaddle]

16. I cut back on the coffee and my twitching stopped

Notice I said "cut back" and not "cut out" :)

[nytemare]

18. I don't drink coffee but maybe twice a year.

When I drink coffee, I totally twitch...lol. You wouldn't want to be around me!

:)

Did cutting back caffeine work for you? I can't think of many sources of caffeine that I take.

17. It drives me batty too!!!

I think it has to do with my sinuses. It usually stops with sinus medicine.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. Yes...

It's annoying as hell, but I think I only have myself to blame. Gotta get more sleep and less 'puter time. ;););););)

20. Vitamin K deficiency. Take an extra dose of multivitamins and it will

clear up in a couple hours at the most.

[nytemare]

21. I will do that!

I take one multivitamin in the morning, I will make it two!

22. Eat a banana and wash it down with a glass of milk. Works for me
