Good Lord, OP, do you do this often with Google? You really need to stop.
EVERYONE has eyelid twitches. Its a tiny muscle, one of the tiniest in the body, so if you are tired or stressed it will a little haywire. |

It is stress and sleep deprivation.

| It means you need more sleep. If you are who I think you are, I'm up for lunch on Friday. |

| Then you aren't who I think you are. But I'm sure that person will read this because she too is overtired and consults google too frequently. Go to sleep and take a break sometime and your terrible illness will pass. |

| Yes, for my grandfather, it all began with a twitching eyelid at age 60. From there he aged severely and eventually died of heart failure at 90. This may not be the downward spiral everyone will experience, but I'd get to a doctor and have it examined immediately. |

Yes. Yes it is.
Or you could just have eye strain. |

| When I'm dehydrated I get it. It's an annoying reminder to drink more water. |

Might need a touch more magnesium, not too much or it will make you poop like crazy.

| You are crazy and totally lacking in any form of class OP. Perhaps your eyelid was trying to escape. |
