Twitchy eye help needed before I stick a hot poker into it.

Not really, it's doing my head in though. Blush It's been like this for a week after going to the dentist (well, that's when I noticed it, it could be longer), I can see the bottom lid twitching away and it's pulling my cheek up slightly so my mouth looks a little wonky. I don't drink a lot of caffeine and have been resting and rubbing it but it makes no difference. Sad What else can I do? Doctor Google isn't showing anything useful.

Thank you Thanks

Sad How long did it take to stop? Sorry that your eye is still dry, do you have to use drops?

Brew?

I get it occasionally. It's usually caused by stress, tiredness or both. It will go away, but I know how exceptionally irritating it is!

Thank you Smile I'll pop and find an optician. I didn't think I was tired or run down.

It's very annoying.

A couple of months ago I noticed my upper eyelid twitching when getting my hair done. Couldn't feel it so no idea how long it had been like that but stayed for over a week until I took an antihistamine. I'd read somewhere that sometimes allergies can be a cause so tried an antihistamine as a last resort. I' don't suffer from allergies normally but this worked a treat for me.

The bloody thing hasn't stopped, I'll try an antihistamine. Thank you Smile
