My eyelid has a mind of its own...

[Squatch]

My right eyelid will start twitching, driving me up the wall. I'll be watching the tube, then voot-voot-voot...the twitching starts.

Short of superglue, any ideas on how to make it stay in place?

1. You need more potassium and calcium

[Squatch]

4. So, just smear the K and Ca right on the eye?

:freak:

6. I would suggest eating some cereal and milk with banana slices. *l* Or

a cheesy baked potato.

18. LOL - Squatch

2. duck tape always works

:silly:

[Richardo]

3. I occasionally have the same problem...

I like GPV's advice: more potassium and calcium.

(Mine doesn't have the voot-voot-voot sound effect, tho.) :)

5. That happened to me in calculus this morning...

I hate it, because it feels strange and there's no way to make it stop short of holding down your eyelid.

7. Mine twitches when I'm tired or stressed.

And I drink a lot of milk and eat a ton of yogurt.

8. That could be it...

between a new house, tough job, a full semester of grad school, and a baby on the way, I may be feeling the stress a little bit.

11. It used to happen to me, too.

And it was when I was tired/stressed as well.

It was actually a joke in our office, because it would stop for one person and start for another for the longest time. We rotated through about 4 people, and one and only one would have it at a time.

9. Tonic Water!

Preferably in Gin & Tonic form. The quinine helps with muscle spasms. It also keeps you from getting malaria! It's worked great for me, I've never gotten malaria!

[Squatch]

10. Save the eyelid, kill the liver.

Sounds like a fair trade. I'll try it!

[Briarius]

12. Yep

this is one of the great pieces of advice my dad gave me. It's been working for him for probably 30 years, all that time malaria free!

[sundog]

13. = tired & stressed

I get them a few times a year. They'll even last a few days.

[candle_bright]

14. I get that too every so often

my eyelid kind of does the "wave." Very annoying!

[crispini]

15. Wow. Mine started doing this too a few days ago.

How useful is DU?! (Do you think we're all stressed out over SOTU or something?)

[Squatch]

16. Nah, I could have given two shits about that.

I think my stresses are more domestic.

17. Take a double dose of multi-vitamins. You're lacking vitamin K.

4 tablets and the twitching will stop within 15 minutes.

[Tafiti]

19. Hey, I get that too!

Thought it was just me. I'll have to try that potassium and calcium suggestion. Love cereal, love bananas, I'm in!
