More like the upper right hand side of my right eyelid, and the lower left side of the bottom eyelid. Its not always there, and massaging it seems to turn oit off for a while. Just started experiencing this a few days ago, but I think it might be due to stress (exams start tomorrow :rolleyes: )

Theres no pain or fatigue or weakness, just an irritating "wiggle" once in a while. If possible try to convey the message as comfortingly as possible, I think I might blow if I get more stress :D

Thanks!

eyelid twitching is one of the most common benign (non harmful) twitches someone can get. BFS (benign fasciulation syndrome) can affect anyone, and can go on for days, weeks, months, and even years. It can be annoying and cause anxiety, but as long as you have no other nuerological symptoms such as weakness and fatigue, there is no immediate reason to worry that it is something serious. If it continues to bother you and stress you out (which can actually lead to more benign fasciculations) you should just talk to your general physician about it. They'll be able to calm your nerves and give you their professional opinion. Give it a week or so though, it'll most likely go away. Be prepared to experience twitches like these throughout your life, and also in other parts of your body like your calves or your hand muscles. Actually, now that i see how long ago your post was, im assuming this problem has been cleared up already. Hope the exams went well!
