Twitching Upper Eyelid for 10 Days

[LaurentHCH]

my upper eyelid twitches all the time for 10 days now. it does not matter if the eyes are closed or open, they twitch even at night. this is scaring me a bit as usually the twitches switch off when tensing the muscle. any similar experiences here?

My eyelid has been twitching my whole life. Honestly, I think eyelid twitching is in a category of its own. Myokimia, I think it is. I have had eyelid twitching for weeks, to the point that it's been embarassing. For me eyelid twitching is always related to sleep deprivation or anxiety, since I was a little girl. I remember asking my mom about it, and she said "it's because you're tired" and I believed her and never thought about it again.I think it's the most benign kind of twitching out there that pretty much everyone has experienced, so I would try not to worry about it, and I believe it will go away.

but also at night, when the eyelid is closed?

One of the first places I twitched was along my eye lid. It happened when I was sleeping. Most of the people on this site have had this problem. Try not to worry about it too much.

Eyelid issues have been my story this year. I've had it all. Lower, upper, open, closed. For one month, my upper left twitched anytime I dried my face off and then sporadically throughout the day. Currently, my upper right twitches every time I close it to go to sleep, which makes going to sleep difficult. When I open it, it tapers off and stops. There is no rhyme or reason to the eyelid twitching.

I first started getting concerned about body twitches because of my eyelid... Mine twitched non-stop for about 3 weeks (even while closed) and then just stopped. It will flare up once in a blue moon but has never lasted long again. So yes, totally normal!

one day of artificial eyewetener drops and the eyelid-twitch is gone. there are those who say an eyelid twitch is due to a temporal imbalance in the sight of the two eyes than one side needs to compensate through tension.

my eyelid twitch disappeared only for two days and is back since. for three weeks now. does someone had this for longer?

Yeah I've had it off and on since 1997.

Eyelid twitching has me on the verge of a breakdown this year. After months of lower twitching I received Botox injections to stop them—it worked. Then my upper lids started, right above the lashes (both). This week I had those injected as well—one had been going for 4 months, the other over a year. Today, I was finishing my workout and now my upper left middle eyelid, all the way to the corner is twitching. I'm not sure how much more of this crap I can take.
