Below my eye has been twitching ever so slightly for a few days. The area feels heavy. You can visually see the twitch.
Online it tells me this is caused by stress, caffeine etc. and means you need rest.
Has this ever turned out to be an MS symptom for anyone ? Or is it completely unrelated ? Thank you !
I suppose that it’s possible that for people with MS the eye twitch is related but lots and lots of people get them - tiredness, eye strain from e.g focusing on near and small objects for a long time . My wife, who doesn’t have MS but does a lot of ‘craft work’ involving e.g small stitches, crochet etc gets eye twitches quite often. Sometimes I can see them other times not
You’re right Hank dog! It’s a weird one isn’t it.
I had a twitch under one eye which was quite constant for a few months and started quite soon after I had my first obvious MS symptoms. When I saw my neurologist and was discussing my various symptoms he said the twitch was nothing to worry about and not MS related, but more related to stress and tiredness.
I think you’re right guys. It just keeps coming and going. I had it 3 weeks ago and now it’s coming back every day. Then it goes.
I’m not too worried it’s MS but I am worried I must be very fatigued and stressed out, which isn’t great.
I haven’t changed my caffeine intake at all so I don’t think it’s that. It must be tiredness and stress, which isn’t great for MS !
Ive had this constantly now for 3 weeks. Its not just under my eye either it seems to be quite a lot of the right side of my face, my eye lid, cheek by nose and under my lip. I did mention to my neurologist and he didnt seem too concerned just said it can happen and will probably come and go.
Yeah mine is still twitching, every day !
