    Default My Eyelid Won't Quit Twitching!!

    Only my right eyelid. It's been going on for at least 2 months. It's driving me crazy!! One of the girls at work said that was a sign of dehydration, so I've been keeping well hydrated for over a month---I had slacked off on my gallon of water a day. It's still twitching. My sister said it's from a lack of sleep, and while I admit I don't always get a solid 8, I slept 12 hours last night. The eyelid is twitching as I type this.

    Someone, anyone!! Halp!!

    I had that happen, it's usally stress or insomnia. I had some sleepy tea slept it away.

    Thanks for your response!! I'll pick up some bananas when I go to town this afternoon. Sleepy Time tea gives me really weird/disturbing dreams, so I'll use that as a last resort.

    My left eye twitches after large doses of caffeine, probably due to the dehydration that others mentioned.

    I get that sometimes. It's annoying but it goes away eventually.

    It could be lack of B-vitamins. Alcohol consumption depletes B vitamins and I notice I sometimes get the eye-twitchy thing after drinking.

    Could also be being hypothyroid.

    Again, thank you everyone for your responses.

    I just want to add: I take prenatals daily, drink alcohol pretty much only once a week, and this eyelid twitching has been a daily thing for, seriously, like the last couple of months.

    The caffeine might make sense because I drink energy drinks on work days, but that's only 4 days a week. The rest of the week, the only caffeine I consume is in my green tea in the morning.

    This happened to me when I took ginseng pills and stopped when I stopped taking them(took awhile to go away though). Could be a sensitivity to something in the energy drinks. Have you always drank the same one, or have you tried a new one recently?

    This happens to me on and off all the time. Last time it lasted like 4 months. Ive heard its from stress which I have tons of. Iam one of those people that never relaxes. It will go away. They say being on the computer alot or watching alot of tv stresses the eye muscles too. Its really anoying and I always think when Iam sitting with a customer they notice it.

    I had this happen to me when I was in a stressful situation and got kicked out of where I was living. It lasted for a month after I was settled in my new place. Residual stress I guess. The body does weird shit when we're under stress!

    omg, my right lower lid started twitching saturday morning and just stopped today. my coworker (day job) said her right lid (lower as weel i think) had been twitching from last friday and it stopped monday for her.

    everyone has told me it's from stress. if you find a method to stop it, let me know. I got through twitching spells every 6 months or so.

    Actually, when you're under immense stress, your body becomes depleted from vitamins and minerals. So, even when the stress is gone...your body will stay depleted for a while, which is why you can still have those issues.

    The twitching can also be from a calcium/magnesium imbalance/deficiency. There is a drink called CalMag that tastes pretty decent but helps with the body naturally relaxing.

    This is a classic and common symptom of stress. I'm sure poor nutrition and high levels of caffeine might aggravate it, but it is a direct result of being under stress and pressure in association with fatigue. Here's a link to a page at the National Institute of Health regarding eye twitching... http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/e...cle/000756.htm

    It started for me years ago when I was going through a tough time in my life, and still happens occasionally when I'm in a stressful situation. It's very embarrassing.

    This has happened to me more than once from sleep dep. It seems to continue until I've had at least a month of getting decent sleep on a fairly regular basis.

    I've had it happen when I'm under stress. I've also had a little twitch next to my mouth from stress.

    this has happened to me a couple of times before and it's always been from being over exhausted. after getting a couple of good nights of rest, it went away.

    Get out of my head! I was thinking the SAME thing when I read this! Haha. Sleepy Tea, right after SW.


    My eye will twitch directly related to stress. I use a warm compress to relax the muscles. Good luck.
