Default my right eye is twitching today... very annoying

Remember where George kept winking due to some grapefruit juice getting in his eye? I feel like him today.... My freaking eye is just twitching for no apparent reason...

just thought I would share.

^ if your eyelids are also itchy, your eyelids may be dirty and have common inflammation of the lid skin margins. this may be caused by improper sanitation as well as simple pollution/allergies.

the other would be benign eyelid myokymia caused by too much stress/caffeine.

i'm not an opthal nor an OD (tho my gf is). this did happen to me before tho.

I had the same thing happened to me about a month ago. It was so annoying! It finally went away after a week or two. And yeah it was due to stress - lots of it.

according to chinese "superstition", it means someone is talking about you at that particular moment.
