Twitching Eyelids and CO Levels

[Quickrider]

Two months ago it was the right eyelid, every one or two minutes. That went on for a few weeks, now the left eyelid is driving me crazy. The twitching is strong for an eyelid twitch. I just found out I have too much CO in my house. The levels are low but higher than they should be and I wonder if low CO levels over a long period of time could cause some of these symptoms. Don't know how long the furnace has been out of wack and no one else in the family seems affected by it.Sandra D

My eyelids have been going crazy for the last 2 months - mostly left eye - all day. I get random popping all over my body - just a single pop here and there, but it is full on twitching in my eyelid and the bottom of my feet. So weird! I'm just counting on it being BFS - tired of worrying about it!Take care,Amy

I have stopped taking my Klonopin dose for the last three days and two nights just to see how I do with out it. Today my eyelids started twitching for the first time in many months. The twitching is not constant but I notice it regularly. If it gets bad I know I have a cure at least for that symptom.

Ah eyelids. After 10 years of BFS I had never had a sustained eyelid twitch -- the closest I had come was vibrations in he bridge of my nose, which was annoying enough! Then, as a treat, fate gave me a nice twitch in my right eyelid to celebrate my 10th anniversary with. It's weird. My legs twitch every second of every day, but I have long since stopped noticing them. I also get random twitches all over my torso and arms, most likely all the time too, but I they don't really bother me. But every so often I will get a persistent twitch in one part of my body or another -- my left elbow, or my right forefinger, or, for the last couple of months, my right eyelid. They are much harder to ignore for some reason -- probably because they stay in one place for weeks at a time, but they do go away eventually.Thus just this past week I noticed that my eyelid twitch was no longer with me -- its task of marking my 10th anniversary of BFS complete. Here's hoping that when it reappears, months or even a year or two from now, it won't in quite such a prominent and annoying place!

Oh, you're not alone. I have them all the time; sometimes in one eye, sometimes in both. Upper eye-lid, lower eye-lid. Some are noticeable, some I can feel, but don't see.The are xtremely annoying - probably because they're in the face, where they can't be hidden behind clothes etc.I guess the nature of the muscle (extremely 'fine') makes it very easy to notice, when it twitches. Annoying./P (= twitcher)

I missed my klonopin also night before last and today they are twitching very bad..my youngest daughter has made me really nervous today but at one point one was twitching so bad it was nearly shutting my right eyelid/

I had one around my left eye for 6 months - non stop. It stopped last week (finally).

I've had eyelid twitches for at least 15 years. Only comes out when I'm anxious. Goes away when I'm not.
