my left eyelid keeps twitching

match point ?

LOOIOL

You're tired.

:)

its been happening for about a week.. ive been walking a lot more than i have been, so thought i'd got more sleep than i normally do, maybe that is it

I wouldn't worry about it Andy.

It happens to me occasionally, too. On and off for a few days and then stops completely.

in all seriouslness, i bett here is something wrong with your foot.

when did u last see it?

ramper - reported

I get it randomly from time to time. eyelid or cheeck muscle. It is 99% nothing to worry over. any other symptoms and do be telling someone. And not us ideally

I have had this occasionally for a few hours or a day then it goes away again, but last year I had it intermittently every day for about three months.

Doctor said tiredness or stress (even though I was no more tired or stressed than normal) but couldn't do anything about it so I went to the optician and had an eye test. They said it seemed fine but that eye was slightly less good than the other one so if it persisted I could get glasses to try to help the eye a bit. Strangely, having had all the tests the flickering stopped that day and hasn't come back, so I think that giving the eye that different exercise and making it work a bit harder than normal by putting it through the tests must have been enough to get it back on an even keel. Worth a try if it persists, especially if you can get the eye test for free.

get more sleep, cut down on tea and coffee and try to relax..eat some salads

You doctor is a moron. This is related to potassium so eat a bannana and you will be fine.

Is the eyelid attached to your foreskin?

tiredness Andy M

Andy - are you Ding Jun Hui?

Sounds like a twitchy eyelid.

hth.

Are you the winky-w@nky bird?

I used to get this, with me it was due to stress, I had money problems and when I got them sorted the twitches disappeared.

Hope you get better, it is lilkely to be stress. Until then, don't enter any Auction rooms

Parkinsons Disease mate

Slow down on the cocaine.

spot on mate, Potassium, along with calcium and sodium, is an electrolyte (mineral salt) important to the human nervous system, muscle function,

Doctor told me the same things years ago, when I had a "customer facing" job and a twitchy eyebrow was a real nuisance. Cured it in days

FFS, is no one listening? This is caused by potassium defficiency. Eat a bananna. I know this because I used to have a friend with serious potassium and calcium deficiency and it happened to her all the time. I have also had it backed up by my own experiences and my other friend who is a doctor.

Evski, just because we put our own view doesn't mean that we haven't seen yours ;)

Good morning Hoss, you are right about stress being a trigger, for this even if it's not the underlying cause.

Usually stress causes it. Often followed by a sty.

too many late night quizzes Andy M lol

Good morning BTF, I hope you are well, and it's good to know that if I ever do my bo11ox on here and start getting the old eye twitch again, I can eat a banana and all will be well ;) Qops, have you seen my left eye? :D

Right eye ^

Agree with pokermonster, and Jim Hensen.

I get this too. It feels like its moving more than it is, almost certainly nothing to worry about.
Might be potassium, but not necessarily. Most likely a nerve thing.

Hoss, lol mate, Its sounds like you might be too far gone for the banana treatment!. Stress is not fully understood, but has been attributed to being the cause of many ills. this fred has gotten too twitchy for for me! lol,. . (must learn to do smiley's) hope you are well mate,cheers.

Beeb for an eye test this morning.

Same thing, twtich in the top of my left eye, plus other visionary problems like losing top half of field of vision.

He said these be caused by a trapped nerve in the neck or a blocked blood vessel in the eye.

Multiple Sclerosis NAP

could be MS as the poster above says or possibly Parkinsons . Either way its not looking good for you

Potassium my chuff!

It's Parkinsons or too much bugle, one or the other

why would tou think it was ms?

happens to me quite often. its just one of those things. stress, lack of sleep, alcohol and playing computer games can bring it on.

Is your eye red ?

LOL :)

electrolyte imbalance or ms.

I get this too. Left eye 'n'all. It's called Herbert Lom Syndrome apparently.

A fringe can cause a twitch

stress

and too much computer(stressful poker) can do it with not enough sleep

I agree GT i put it down to stress also

its too much time spent on here looking at a light omitting diode screen ..
If you look at the underneath of your screen and see the button mrked "sens eyes" ..
it stands for "sensitive eyes" .....just press it IN and it stops emitting the rays that cause your left eye to twitch ...

most people dont even bother reading the leaflet instructions that come with the screen ....and so don't know the button is there ..
