Buckslayer Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Re: Muscle twitches Has your sleep schedule changed possibly??? My mother is an ophthalmic tech (assists eye surgery and the ophthalmalogist)... Both her and the Dr. claim thats what causes it... sleep related. I'd tend to agree from my own experience. I get it when I'm sleep deprived Andrea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Re: Muscle twitches I think I hurt my back when I went fishing in the Gulf. It was pretty rough out there. So I haven't been sleeping all that great. So that could be it. Maybe I should take a nap.......................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckbuster11 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Re: Muscle twitches I've actually had the same problem the last few days. I went through a several month stretch of this a year or two ago that just about drove me out of my mind. It seemed like my eye was constantly twitching. It hasnt been a problem since, but in the last few days my eye has been getting the twitches back here and there. I've never got a straight answer to what they problem is though.

buckee Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Re: Muscle twitches [ QUOTE ] get serious before I rip my eyelid off and post pictures of it for all to see. [/ QUOTE ] I don't know about you guys, but I'm waiting for the pictures Seriously though, I've had that problem before too, and haven't got a clue why it does that. Sometimes it will bug me for a day, a week, a couple weeks or more, before it quits. It ussually happens when I'm stressed out or tense and need to get away for a trip somewhere. Geesh, now mines twitching too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newarcher Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Re: Muscle twitches Okay, I was waiting for everyone to get the jokes out. The problem is caused by stress. When you are stressed, you crinkle your brow and your forehead and cause the muscles that control the eye muscles to be overworked. The results is somewhat of a muscle cramp. However, God, in his infinite wisdom knew that if the eyelid cramped like most muscles do, the eye could be damaged. So what you have going is an eye cramp, so to speak. First, reduce your stress. Second, you must try to let that eye relax. The best, but not easiest thing to do is to simply delay blinking as much as possible for just that eye. The alternate thing you can do is get some sunglasses and past a picture of your favorite place (i.e. the beach) in the lense of just that eye. Wear the sunglassed for at least a week and let you twitching eye go on vacation. It's hard being semi-all knowing. New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkhntnfool Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Re: Muscle twitches A potassium difficentcy can cause your muscle and especially your eyes to twitch. Try eating a banana or two and see if that help. Bananas are almost solid potassium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugshooter Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Re: Muscle twitches I've heard it's either stress related or caffeine related. I used to have the same problem, it would either be the eyelid, or actually the bridge of my nose between my eyes would twitch. That was really aggravating. Haven't had the problem in awhile. Not sure why, as stressed out as I have been lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Re: Muscle twitches Eat a banana and take a calcium pill. Osteocal or Citrical. Your calcium may be low. I get twitches all the time because of my parathyroid condition, but calcium works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
