Basic Tic Question

[Guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

This morning I started having a really weird eyelid twitch only on my left eye, close to my eyebrow. It feels really weird, but it just doesn't feel like a tic. I'm suprised its only on one side. Do you guys think it's just a tic?

 

By the way I'm eight days off of dairy and back to just eye blinking after eating really bad at camp.

That was the strangest thing ever. It only lasted about 3 1/2 hours. It was almost like the muscles were contracting. Any ideas on what this was?

 

I tried Cherries last night for the first time and liked them. It surely wouldn't be a reaction to those would it?

Hi Carolyn,

 

I did not have a chance to reply when I first read your post but was going to suggest it sounded like a muscle spasm. I used to get this in University quite often, I am assuming from eye strain. I have not had it for years. I have no history of tics. But my eye lid on one side would flicker for periods of time - I was told it was a muscle spasm. During University I did start to wear glasses for reading, I think that helped. I don't wear glasses anymore and have not had an eye spasm for years.

i would second what Alison has said, Carolyn

 

The way you have described it , it sounds more like a muscular flutter or spasm than a tic

Okay, I won't worry about it then. It freaked me out a bit because I've never had anything like that before that I can remember.
