My left eye keeps twitching

[paoloh]

Any ideas why?

[Penny-lope]

Lack of sleep...I get it too. Have a few hours extra in bed, and it should go

I had 9 hours last night or do you mean over a period of time but then again, I get 7-9 every night

[Penny-lope]

Well it's certainly cause by too many late nights, and lack of sleep with me.

Perhaps someone else wil come up with something

Too much sleep then

I get it when I look at the computer screen or tv too long.

It started this morning.

Bottom part of my eye seems to spasm.

Supposed to be a sign of being nervous about something anything on your mind?

I get it sometimes, it goes after a bit

I had it for months. Got made redundant at the end of April and I haven't had it since, so its a sign I'm not meant to work - its not good for you!

On a serious note its probably stress

[trooperiziz]

I started to get it a few years back after a particulary bad cold. It's almost gone now but does flare up again every so often. Sleep, stress, nerves, none of it makes any difference to me, it just happens

I get it too, usually when I am tired and/or run down. Extra sleep, less time on the computer, and drinking less tends to cure it though.

I think I'd go insane if I had it permanently.

God yes, it is really doing my head in.

It is actually stressing me out......... Typical

Fatigue uses it on a short term basis. If you have it on and off over a period of weeks, it's stress, or raised blood pressure, or both.

I get it when I'm under pressure...

Mrs TB had this a few weeks ago, a web search revealed it's called myokymia, can start and stop spontaneously, and is often associated with periods of stress, too much coffee, and other triggers.

I got it last year in the run up to my exams, last exam over it disappeared. I think it can often be down to stress.

Hay fever. Either that or you are the Prime Minister
