Any doctors or nurses on the board?

I used to get these DARN twitches all the time until I found a solution from a doctor.  I didn't get to read everyone's reply to see if you found a remedy for this... Go get some Tonic Water from the store.  Honest to God this will work.  Tonic Water contains Quinine (sp) which is used in the treatment of malaria (honest, check the bottle it has it right on there)...One of the major symptoms of malaria is twitching.  WHY does Tonic Water have this in it...because it was the only way the British Army could guarantee that their troops would get Quinine which they needed to help with malaria (British love GIN & TONIC).  So, go get a bottle and a couple of limes to make it taste better.  NOW you will have to wait until the carbonation goes out some since it's a soda water (stir it like crazy) but if you just crack the top of the bottle while it's in the fridge it will be flat for you the next time you get a drink.  Just have a couple glassfuls a day and soon you'll notice the twitch is gone. P.S. - this is also a great way to treat hangovers... Take care Vicki and I'll talk to you soon!

Hi,Vickie - it's really the muscles in the eyelid that are twitching, not the eyeball itself - although it sure feels like the eye. These twitches are pretty common, and usually go away within a week. if they do not, as in your case, you need to see an opthamologist for an eye exam. A few things needing treatment can cause eye twitiching. In the meantime, these are the things medically indicated: - stop any caffeine - work om stress management - get more sleep - use OTC eye lubricants You may be able to relieve eye twitch by gently massaging the affected eyelid. To do this, move your index finger back and forth from the inner to the outer part of the lid for approximately one minute. Use the same amount of pressure that you use on a computer keyboard.  Massage may be more effective if you first use a warm, wet compress on the eyelid for 10 minutes. If any of these things are also present, please see a doctor within the next day or two:

        -  The twitching involves other parts of your face.          -  You have redness, swelling, or a discharge from your              eye         -  The twitching completely closes your eyelid.          -  Your upper eyelid is drooping. Hope they just go away! But you do need to see a doc since they have lasted 3 weeks. That is very unusual. Sandy r

SORRY ABOUT THE EYE TWITCH.  MINE DID THAT A MONTH OR SO AGO.  IT STOPPED FINALLY ON ITS OWN.  JUST HAD TO TELL YOU HOW GREAT YOU LOOK! SUGGAH

I had the eye twitch for over a year once.  Probably it  was stress, but at the time I put it down to my sinus's acting up.  I've had it a day or so at a time since then and it usually accompanies a sinus headache.
