My upper eyelids start twitching at random
intervals throughout the day. It only
lasts about 5 minutes and then it'll start
again anything from 15 mins to a couple of
hours later. And when it happens it's not
continuous: the eyelid will twitch two or
three times then 5-10 seconds later it'll
happen again and so on.
90% of the time it is my left upper
eyelid.
I doubt it has anything to do with
epilepsy but it is rather annoying and it
has been going on for about 2 weeks.

Eyelids Twitching Posted: 11-02-06 07:59am
Kd-
hi, I just joined and noted your question.
I am a fellow sufferer of epilepsy and I
had the surgery on my brain in february of
this year. I dealt with a lot of eye
twitching prior to that and did a lot of
research on-line. I believe that
information I located at that time
revealed that the twitching can actually
be a minor form of a seizure. I'll try
to find some info. On it & let you
know. Just trying to help. Let me know
if I can be of any further assistance.
Good luck to you!

Well it is still happening though not as
frequently and it is always in my left
eyelid now. That's about 1 and a half
months it's been happening.
Thanks for your reply josie

i started with just my eye which
eventually moved around. Visually, if I
look I can see it. It started with my
right eye, then my cheek, then my lip
(which felt bizarre), then a spot on my
arm and thigh.
I had it happen during my veeg but am
awaiting results on the 5th.
Feel free to swing by to read my full
story (it's late and i'm too lazy to
copy/paste).
pm me or email if you need anything. Try
a warm washrag or heat pack, that worked
for mine. I'd use cold but I have
trigeminal neuralgia and it seems to
trigger me.
