Help! My left eye has been twitching for over a week

I don't know if it is stress of a lack of sleep or too much caffeine or all three, but I have been experiencing a very annoying twitch in my left eye that has been disrupting my vision sometimes.

Any suggestions?

You may need more sleep.

it's nerves. i don't know what to tell you to do about it though
it should pass...but if it's really bothersome, see your doctor...just tobe sure that it's nothing serious.

It twitches even when I close my eyes sometimes

Happens to me quite often - usually stress/tension related.

I get that when its a mixture of tired, stress and too much computer time or reading.

Basically when I wear myself out physically, mentally and then physically overwork my eyes. I hate it... its annoying!

I put a warm eye bean baggie over my eyes when I get home and spend quiet time by myself. (that annoys me too, by the way, Im not the type to sit still for long). I get more sleep and try to just relax. I try to not stare to long at my computer by filing or doing something other than computer work when possible and I avoid reading my paper on the way home. It usually takes about a week to calm down if I don't TRY to relax. With the 'treatment' its still a few days.

Good Luck!

I guess I need to sleep a bit this weekend. Maybe I also need to get my invitations in the mail and find a place to live

That is what happens to me when I am really stressed out. Try to relax and get some sleep.

Oh God, I hope this doesn't twitch until my wedding. I'm afraid to drive like this. Good thing I take the train to work during the week
