What makes your eye lid twitch?

[Cannikin]

Mine has been doing it for days non stop and its starting to concern me a little. I mean, its twitched before but only for a minute or so, but for several days now, it just keeps going.

1. I dunno

but my right one does it frequently for days on end. Then it just stops for a long time in between episodes. I think it's stress related but not sure.

2. fatigue, stress, allergies

these are things that seem to have done that to me

it will pass and it isn't going to be something that limits you. for one thing, it seems much more of a deal to you than it would to anyone else as they don't notice it, but you do.

3. that happens to me when i drink too much coffee, thats how i know i need to back off

the caffeine a bit.

8. Same here!

I have to switch to decaf for a week or two...:(

4. well the twitch itself is caused by a spasm in the muscle that controls the eyelid

however what it causing that is anybody's guess so I would say if you are really concerned about it see a doctor...it could be something as benign as stress

5. I'm already being well medicated for stress. hehe I'm going with the too much caffeine theory.

I drink FAR too much.

6. the simplest answer is quite often the correct answer

9. Eat a couple of bananas

They contain potassium which is essential for proper nervous system function. Eating a banana usually does the trick. If it's persistant, try taking a potassium supplement or a multivitamin which contains potassium.

10. Isn't that the first symptom you get when you catch "The Gay"?

Just kidding.

I get twitchy eyelids when I am stressed out to the max.

[Cannikin]

11. Oh babe, I caught the gay a LONG time ago!
