Post nervous twitching below eye

Hello all. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. I have a small twitching under my eye (not actually the lid, but just below-left eye only) and it's driving me to madness! It's noticeable to others and has been going on for a few months now. Some days, I get relief (or I just don't notice it maybe) from it but otherwise it's a constant thing. From what I have read on the net, it should subside on it's own, but it hasn't. Is there a recommended supplement I could take or home remedy? I'm ready to try anything at this point! I've heard botox injections can help, but I'm not too crazy about the idea. I even heard that sticking a blade of grass on the site will stop it (haven't tried it yet...no grass to use!) I haven't changed my sleeping or eating habits recently, and definitely don't feel stressed about anything (except for this spasm!). If anyone can provide some suggestions, I'd be grateful!

Alex

Botox is used for allot of different procedures that used to require surgery. It is very popular for cosmetic improvements. It is safe, simple and reasonably inexpensive.

Clearly, if you are apprehensive about Botox, you will not like the alternative at all. Any of those herbal remedies are short term at best and what if you have an allergic reaction?

Give the Botox treatment a chance. Just make sure you are going to a reputable doctor.
