Poll question: My right eyelid has been twitching for three days.
What does it mean? What should I do?

3. Any other numbness on one side of your body?
Any headaches? Visual disturbances?

Otherwise, I wouldn't freak unless it continues. Then check with your doc.

5. You need to chill.
Seriously. Your nervous system is sending out fucked up impulses.

Take a tranq if you have any, or :smoke: to calm ya' some if that's your flava.

6. I'm guessing lack of sleep. When was the last time you slept really well
all night?

10. Actually, the same exact thing happened to me about a month ago.
It was stress. The twitch is gone and so is most of the stress. :) It bugged me more than it did other people, because no one noticed. I asked a friend to tell me what it looked like when it was twitching, and she said she couldn't see a thing. (Dunno if she was just being nice, but she usually tells it like it is. :))

Should go away on its own. :D

14. Eat a banana.
Lack of potassium.

Seriously, I can't believe anyone hasn't said this yet. It's totally a potassium thing.

16. Too much caffeine
I used to get that when it was close to finals and I drank a lot of coffee.
Someone else mentioned stress. Stress and tics do go hand in hand together.

when my so announced my mil will be coming over tomorrow without warning. No shit.

I'm on my fifth glass of wine and it seems to be lessening. Maybe you should try that. Cheap Chardonnay is the wonder drug my friend,
