Constant Eyelid Myokimia: Help!

I have 2 new hot spots going constantly now *cry* and it is driving me crazy. My old right-eyebrow-twitch is back, joined with a nonstop upper-eyelid myokimia on the left side and a constant left thumb-pading-fasciculation...eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh...........I am quite new to this exyelid-thing and it is......uuuh..even more annoying than the tongue ones. I can see my lashes move around and it feels kind of scratching on my eye.... :rolleyes:
 
Poor girl, I know, the eyelid stuff can drive one crazy! A few weeks ago I even had to sleep with eye shades (I've never used them before and even laughed at those who do) because my right eye was too agitated! Thanks God, it stopped...
 
Hang in there Chrissi. Seems like everyone is having a tough week with twitching. If it makes you feel any better, I have like 4 hotspots going on right now... tongue, corner of mouth, thenar muscle, and buzzing in my calf. Fun times!
 
Chrissi,I have 3 out of the 4 you mentioned going on today. The only one I don't have today is the nose one but I got that for the first time YESTERDAY! -Matt
 
Chrissi - I get a lot of facial twitches ordinarily, especially when stressed , so I know how you feel. The facial twitches are the only ones that bother me in the least.
 
ok im gonna top it off...ive got feet, thighs, calfs, chin and eyelid twitches going virtually all at the same time...... :eek: i believe i may go slightly mad soon....anyone want to join me??? :LOL:
 
Chrissi-I am with you on the eyelid twitching! This past year I had all four going on some days. My upper right twitched more days than not for 18 months. Finally, at the suggestion of MSM, I turned to Botox. Best move I ever made. I started having the lower lids injected in April and just recently the uppers. My upper right hasn't twitched since it was injected a month ago. No ptosis, side effects, etc. Over the past seven years, I could usually wait out the month long episodes. This year I had it and had to seek some relief. Just fyi for anyone who ever encounters this and has any vacillation.
 
Hi zenzeothanks for your post. Fortunately my neuro is a specalist in botox use in neurologic deseases, and when one of these things is driving me completely crazy, I can go there. I am seriously thinking about "killing" my right eyebrow twitch that way, but I wonder if it won't look odd when I do one side there and not the other..and forsure do not want to have the whole forehead done..hmmm....maybe it gets afraid of me taling about this and just stops..
 
Forgot to mention that when I had my appointment in July my left eyebrow had been twitching off and on and I had him inject a unit or two there. He didn't do the other side and I didn't notice any unevenness.-S
