A few weeks ago, I started at a new school, and I train 6 days a week. Ever since I've started at this school, I've been getting twitches super frequently on my lower left eyelid, and sometimes on other parts of my body like my neck. I checked what the internet had to say about it, and it was kinda inconclusive (there were answers ranging from stress, to serious neural conditions). Just wondering if anyone else has had this? If so, what did you do about it, and what was the outcome?

It could be totally idiopathic, meaningless, temporary, and harmless (likely). Or, (unlikely) you could be getting a Bell's Palsy or similar condition (viral infection) that could cause these symptoms. In any case, there isn't any treatment for any of the above and it will either go away in a while, or get worse. If it gets worse, see a neurologist. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

About a few months ago I used to experiance severe twitches throughout my body... My neck, arms, legs, whatever... I would just twitch for no apparent reason. I consulted doctors with no results. They questioned drugs, which I was clean. They found no real results. I went through a CAT scan and blood tests. but they found no real reasons for them. I finally got fed up with the doctors and stopped going. I twitched for a good year or so. After a while the slowed and eventually stopped. I still twitch ocassionaly but not like I used to. I just got used to them until they went away.

You could always try a doctor, but my advice to you would just be to wait a little while and see if they go away, mine did.

Oh, I just remembered some other possible reasons they gave me of why I twitched. Turretts (sp.?), too much caffiene, drugs, stress, ADHD, and there where a few others that I can't remember. If I remember them I'll post them.

Have you been going through major life changes lately? My first thought was that it could be stress related.

Yea I have finals coming up and I just switched schools and started training more. It'll probably go away. If not I will follow the suggestion and amputate my eyelid. Thanks a bunch Piz.:rolleyes:

Sometimes I find myself uncontrolably walking in circles. Usually I am not aware that I am doing it, then I "snap out" of it and am good to go. Is that ok, does anyone else experience this?
