Continuous twitching of the eyelids (blepharospasm)

 

Has anyone had a happy escape?

 

I had this - super annoying - it went away after about 10 days for me.  I hope yours goes away soon.

 

I have had it for 4 months continuously, it is very painful and does not even think about leaving. Another incredible muscle spasm, especially the face and neck. TD symptoms.

Ugh - I'm so sorry Arnold53

Thanks I know.

 

I had Botox and it made me worse. I know you and I have shared similar experiences with facial pain. I don’t recommend it.

Have you had constant twitching of your eyelids? How long?

I had it on the right side of my face. It started about 9 months off and lasted 6 months.

That means it is a known WD symptom that is known to resolve when WD eases and resolved.

 

Do, u to you what you chose to believe.

 

For me that is a symptom I do think is WD I like fixed, fibrotic contraction

I  had this a lot during WD...it went away....now it randomly comes back every once in a while...like maybe for an hour or two every six months to a year or so...

Was it continuous or not? How long did it last for you?

It was continuous for about 5 or 6 weeks, then it slowly decreased until it pretty much went away.

Mine have dimished a lot and I’m only a little over a week since getting off.

Mine was from lack of sleep. After I regained at least 4 hours of sleep for a week, they went away. Now after CT I'm back to 1-2 hours/night, have a thumb tremor instead.

I had that for months and it went away.  It is withdrawal.  I ate lecithin for 3 weeks or 4, and all my eye and body twitching gradually receded.  I think the lecithin took care of that symptom. I bought the lecithin at whole foods, granular.
