twitchy eye!

[comloulou]

Oh NO! Ive got a really twitchy eyelid today, and its doing its own little disco dance. Im assuming its a dodgy nerve but why is it doing this and can I do anything to stop it?

[Lennon]

As far as I'm aware you can't do anything to stop it. In most cases its just the muscle being overworked - have you not had much sleep lately or been playing the playstation into the wee small hours?? :)

damnit, must be the reading till late and then waking up to a seagull dawn chorus at 4am. cheers.

This often happens to people who drink too much. A mate of mine, an acknowledged heavy drinker(!), takes Vitamin B tablets to help this. A glass of fruit juice will probably have much the same effect.

just to set the record staight on that one, Im not a heavy drinker and never have been!!!! Im going with the sleep thing thanks

It's probably stress. Take time out to unwind.

I had this for abou 4 months and eventually went to the doctor. He said it was the nerve having a spasm and that it would go away by itself. It did eventually.
