NP working in Neuro here. 99% of the time it's stress/fatigue related. Usually is off and on, lasts days to weeks and is gone.
If you get other "twitches", difficulty swallowing, clumsiness, then you have a problem. |

Someone is making you ill to seek attention from medical professionals? |

OP - here, I guess I have to fess up now, this is not for me, it's for my child. I was only trying to shield my child from the pain and stgma of twitching eye lid syndrome. You are right, we need to go to the doctor. |

| My left eye twitches almost daily, it has for probably a decade. My doc has told me it's stress related. Sometimes it twitches so hard, it freaks out people who I'm talking to, lol! |

It's stress. And one of my favorite words, incidentally.

I'm not the OP, but I am who you think I am. Sushi? The usual? |

Stress, fatigue, and in OP's case, hypochondria

This is actually quite funny.  
What about Bell's Palsy? Could it be that? |

My eye twitches when I'm excited or worked up or overtired.
Seriously, don't freak out. |
