Does anything actually make it stop? Whatever the muscle/nerve/whatever is just under my left eye will not stop twitching and it's driving me nuts. I must look loonier than usual.

Is it stress related?

I get that sometimes, and it stops after a while.

No need to thank me, helping others is just what I do.

I agree. See what the benefits of free health care are?

I get that too, very very occasionally. Usually around my mother. Correlation or causation? Don't know.

I tell myself to relax, and do a little bit of progressive muscle relaxation, and I very gently massage the twitching muscle, (it's more the body-heat from my finger-tip, really, I don't like actually poking at my eyeball) and it usually goes away fairly quickly. Correlation or causation? Don't know.

Must be the stress of having to deal with Smash directly and not through the forum!

Vigorous sex will stop it, though it may cause a different kind of twitching if done right.

It can be sleep, and often is. It can also be allergy related, in which case allergy medicine will usually minimize it.

This is going to sound utterly insane, but I only ever get an eye twitch if I drink too much sugar free soda. That fake sweetener is a *****, haha.

My wife claims eating bananas helps, something about getting enough potassium. Not sure where she saw that.

Oh, interesting. I wonder if aspartame leaches potassium.

I find realism to be less stressful than delusion, but thanks!

Aspartame is delusional, it's all true.

Easy fix, just clip the nerve that's causing the problem. Or, go have a stroke. That'll take care of it for sure. You did say left, right?

Gin and tonic.

The quinine in the tonic water is good for twitching.

There's a recent article that makes a direct causal association between Eye-twitching and redundant adding of ones name to the foot of posts
