Anyways,I have this little muscle twitch in my eyelid. It's been going on

[ScreamingMeemie]

since yesterday. Totally annoying. Don't you hate when that happens?
Either that, or MrsGrumpy has finally gone round the bend.

1. I get one of those from time to time.

Usually when I haven't had enough sleep. That's one of the messages my body sends me.

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. This could be the reason. I never thought of that GOP. I've

been getting about 4 hours a night for the past week.

Phew, glad I got something else to blame it on.

:hi:

[NightTrain]

3. Been having that problem myself lately!

Began late last week. :wtf:

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Maybe they are putting eyelid twitching weapons of mass eyelid

destruction in our drinking water....

:tinfoilhat:

It's freaking annoying, eh?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

4. vitamin B12 deficiency...

This has helped me and some others also. Go to a reputable health store and buy sublingual vitmain B12 tablets (called methylcobalamin) 1000 mcgs. Take at least 1 a day. Also, get a good B complex vitamin. I had a twitching eyelid for weeks, and I started the B12, and it went away. Good luck

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. Thanks ED, I will have to try that. It's just enough to make me

irritated. :hi:

[nuxvomica]

5. Do you drink a lot of coffee?

Cuz that'll do it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. My profile says it my hobby, so I guess I would have to say yes.

But then I'll have to make a decision between severe headache versus eyelid twitch. :7

[put out]

6. I always think of Inspector Clouseaus' beleaguered boss.

It's harmless, just makes you look like you're on the edge of a breakdown. Use it to your advantage, and try to go get some sleep.

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. Thank you put out. My husband has thought for years that I was

on the edge of a breakdown...now I've got proof!

:hi:

[girl gone mad]

11. I get that too..

stress, I think. Have a glass of red wine with dinner.

More sleep, B-12 - all good ideas.

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Thank you ggm!

:hi:

[Zomby Woof]

12. ZombyCoffee does NOT cause eye-twitching!

So stop saying that! :D

(Yes, it is a vitamin-deficiency, because I get the same problem some times. But too much Vitamin B causes my gums to be tender, so I have to be careful)

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. I would be loathe to give up my beloved coffee for the sake of

an eye twitch. :)

[ProudGerman]

13. I get it too

Though, it usually related to a traveling muscle twitch. Roams my whole body, quads, triceps, even my pecks once. That looked funny, to say the least.

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. I bet that did look funny. I only get this occasional eye twitch.

Which I refuse to refer to as a tic, because then I really will sound crazy. :hi:

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Calcium

Caffeine leeches calcium from your system.. may be giving you that eye twitch.

Or it could be a potassium deficiency?

Have a banana and a glass of milk. One or the other should do the trick. :^)

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. I took you up on the suggestion GPV. I'll let you know what happens

Thanks! :hi:

[Loonman]

15. When my eyelid starts twitching like that

It means I'm starting to have an LSD flashback.

At least I get a signal, some people don't.

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. No LSD to flashback on here...

Maybe it's an epidural flashback... :silly:

[SOteric]

16. Ah. The dreaded Moderator's twitch.

;-)

Get some sleep. Meditate with a cup of green tea. Have a glass of wine and sit in the tub for an hour.

But most of all, know you're appreciated around here. :pals:

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. Awww, thanks SOteric. That helps. Green tea. I just bought some

yesterday at Good Food. That's a great idea. And you are appreciated as well!!!

:loveya: Laura

[BritishHuman]

31. But don't make the same mistake I did...

And think that because it isn't "regular" tea, it doesn't have any caffeine. I think it might even have a little more.

[LynneSin]

17. Maybe it's from a week without Matcom or the fact that Oscar is archived

he was in Mexico for a week of vacation

Or that thread about the mystery animal Oscar went into Archived - that could be also affecting it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. Ya know? You might be on to something. Often I have been

ruminating on these very two subjects...hmmmmm.

:hi:

[VOX]

18. Eyestrain will also cause those annoying eyelid twitches...

Maybe too much time spent in front of the monitor? Or, if you wear glasses/contacts, could it be time for an upgrade?

Just a thought.

Take care -- :toast:

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. Funny thing, I just got my eye check up card yesterday and thought

I would wait until the twitch went away. Good idea, rezmutt.

Thanks!! :hi:

[Lostmessage]

19. Astigmatism is a bitch

I hate it when my eye lids start to twitch. Damn brings back memories.

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. It's horrid ain't it?

:hi:

[radwriter0555]

20. Vitamin K deficiency. Take a slam dose of some multivitamins, then get

regular on a daily dose of a good quality multivitamin...

That's all it is.

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. I am not so very good at remembering vitamins, but I went and

took one. Thanks for your advice!!

:hi:
