adrian_turtleMy left eyelid is twitching. This has been happening fairly frequently for most of the past week. (It's been happening almost all year!) It doesn't hurt. It doesn't block my vision. It's still pretty unnerving.
I sometimes feel a general muscle twitch, a sort of shiver, at the end of an absence seizure. This is different. Partly because it's so local, partly because I'm aware of the whole thing. It doesn't feel like winking, or like any way I *can* move my face on purpose. It's really weird. It feels like the way muscles twitch in response to a tens unit, not like moving on purpose.
The physical therapist used a tens unit on my shoulder. I'm not sure if it helped. I could feel it twitching while it was happening, across the big muscles of my shoulder and neck. Then a week of eyelid twitching on the same side. Could it be a cause? Or does electrostim twitching not work that way at all? I realize some people have physical twitches just because of anxiety or exhaustion, and the last few weeks have certainly been anxious and exhausting for me...this is just a new thing for my body, so I'm confused about it.
