It can be due to a magnesium deficiency. - Bird

BINGO! It stopped it in a day for me. You don't need too much.

I haven't had this in years. It was always from fatigue. Anyway, I've been taking extra mag also for years, so, maybe that has helped.

It will take a week or so for it to stop usually... but I had a customer who had one that got so bad she had to go to the neurologist. It NEVER WENT AWAY and it was really bad!

I have had an very bad eye twitch for over 20 yrs. It started small and now has taken over my whole right side of my face including my mouth.I cannot even smile for a picture anymore.Half the time I only have one eye open

If I am stressed out it is very bad.I first thought it was from a careless tooth removal 20 yrs ago that caused a hole in my sinus cavity, that needed to be repaired and left me with a twichy nerve.

But as I have grown older and the Dr has given me a script for anxiety I find it helps my twich so much that I'm beginning to think it is all from nerves. He gave me a script yrs ago for anxiety but my anxiety made me afraid to take it.....lol.............(crazy right, but that's how it works sometimes)........lol

I cannot wait to go back in a few months to tell him how it has helped my eye and get a real lasting script .It is such a relief/joy when I suddenly realize my eye is not twitching.

There are as many reasons cited as you can imagine and it'll go away when it goes away. I get variations of 'the twitch' (upper or lower) several times a year and just when you think you'll never be rid of it, It'll be gone and you won't even notice...

Me too. It's aggravating, but it goes away just like you said.

Thank you for this thread. I googled eye twitching and found I probably have a some what rare thing called Hemifacial Spasm.

It is caused by some sort of injury and or a blood vessel pressing on a nerve in a certain area of the face. which I already knew cause I can press on that nerve and stop the twitching for a few minutes.

It described my condition exactly and the treatments for it which I sort of knew already from a young man I met in a hospital 20 ys ago that had surgery for it that didn't work out so well,so I never asked for it for myself.Google did say it isn't such a good treatment for everyone...lol

But it is also treated by drug my DD takes for her epilispy which is probably why my anti anxiety drug works so well if I take it...lol

It usually starts in middle age women mostly,thats when I got it in my 40/50 (I'm now 76) and it is caused by an injury (my dentist just pulling a tooth without xray and damaging my sinus and other stuff) or Bells Palsy that I also had.

I cannot wait to tell my Dr Thanks again
