Kd-

hi, I just joined and noted your question. I am a fellow sufferer of epilepsy and I had the surgery on my brain in february of this year. I dealt with a lot of eye twitching prior to that and did a lot of research on-line. I believe that information I located at that time revealed that the twitching can actually be a minor form of a seizure. I'll try to find some info. On it & let you know. Just trying to help. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Good luck to you!

Well it is still happening though not as frequently and it is always in my left eyelid now. That's about 1 and a half months it's been happening.

Thanks for your reply josie

i started with just my eye which eventually moved around. Visually, if I look I can see it. It started with my right eye, then my cheek, then my lip (which felt bizarre), then a spot on my arm and thigh.

I had it happen during my veeg but am awaiting results on the 5th.

Feel free to swing by to read my full story (it's late and i'm too lazy to copy/paste).

pm me or email if you need anything. Try a warm washrag or heat pack, that worked for mine. I'd use cold but I have trigeminal neuralgia and it seems to trigger me.

have a great evening.

hello,I have not found the blogs to helpful I get plenty of stress free sleep I feel very lucky in this way,but for a week now I have had a twiching eyelid during the day every day,and I know it is noticable to others,I have been diagnosed recently with a low thyroid,could this possibly be the problem?,I would be greatful for any advice other than tiredness stress,I do wish every one good luck with this problem.thank you for giving me the opportunity to write this blog Many Thanks!

I feel twitching frequently. It is very annoying. It will start at a small spot on my thigh, than move to another place, and jump to my arm. It will start and stop. Also, what is really bothersome is when my upper lip, seemingly to start at the side of my nostril will "pull" and lift only one half of my lip up in an uncontrolled smirk. The lip thing hasn't happened lately, but for me I notice a coorelation between not enough sleep and too much computer usage causing the twitching. Exercise and gentle stretching help too, no pretzel movements. I take Depakote and have for 7 years.

I also have the twitching in my left eyelid and its annoying. Yesterday I mentioned it to my primary care docctor and he says it must me lack of sleep. I began having it for almost three months now. Im a little worried about it. I pour eyedrops from time to time in case is dry eye, but it doesnt seem to help.
