[quote=Anonymous]If it persists and doesn’t respond to any of the other excellent suggestions offered here, you may want to see a neurologist to rule out a hemifacial spasms which occurs when a blood vessel in the brain presses on a facial nerve. It often presents initially with constant eye twitching. The first line of treatment is Botox. There is a surgical option if that fails. (I have had both and am so much better.) In no way am I saying this is what it is, but I have seen people run from doctor to doctor before getting a good diagnosis. https://www.bcm.edu/healthcare/specialties/neurology/parkinsons-disease-and-movement-disorders/hemifacial-spasm#:~:text=Hemifacial%20spasm%20(HFS)%20is%20a,neck%20on%20the%20same%20side. If you are interested in a consult, Amy Stone, MD is a specialist in this field (and no, I’m not Dr. Stone). https://neurologycenteroffairfax.com/person/amy-r-stone-md/[/quote]
