| Eye twitches were one of my first pregnancy symptoms. Seriously. |

Are you a neurologist? Bc twitches in general, even everywhere, can be benign, eg benign fasiculation syndrome. |

Oh crap, OP, now you've set off my hypochondria. My eye has been twitching off and on since Friday, and my mom died of ALS. UGH.
In my case, I tend to be a little dehydrated so I hope that's it - dry eyes. |

| Well, if it returns, try a warm moist hotpack next time. Mine are caused by stress. |

| I had this about 10 years ago on and off for a year. It was stress and lack of sleep for me. |

| I have had that happen to me when I'm very stressed and exhausted. Sleep deprevation can cube a common trigger. |
