Since Saturday, my right eye (only that particular one) has been twitching. Since then it's been twitching more and more and more. Today I think I've nearly reached 10 twitches lasting 5 seconds or longer. This is...not normal I assume.

Make a video so we can see this grotesquery! (I think I just made a new word! Hooray for me!)

Seinfeld can help you! Remember what George did when his eye did that?

As a medical semi-professional, my advice is to cut it off while having a vodka bath.

Twitching eyes are usually a sign of lack of sleep and an overdependency on caffeine. I suggest weening off caffeine over a few days and get more rest.

I've had this problem too.

Look at it in the mirror with a stern glare, hold up your finger to it and shout "No, Rightie! Bad! No twitchy for you!"

I don't drink much caffeine...Hell, I drink less now now that I only drink water at school.

And I've hada lack of sleep for over a month now.

The only other case like that I've heard of, turned out to be leprosy.. they had to amputate.. :(

I am not a medical professional though, so it could be something else. If it gets real bad, see a doctor.

Hehe, you said ween.

I had this problem too - only my vision in the right eye was fuzzy too. The eye doc told me it was due to my long hours at the computer and my failure to blink "properly" or often enough. Apparently studies have shown that individuals do not blink as often while staring at a computer screen.

Anyway, we changed my contact lenses to some model newly on the market that allows more oxygen to get to the eye and voila- this solved my problem.

No twichy no blurry.

You should put salt in that eye. Being a medical unprofessional, I don't know these things.

Salt. Lemon juice. Cheese grater... all are quite effective, really.

Okay. So now I'm half-blind, now what?

Be glad it's not your buttocks twitching uncontrollably.

Repeat said steps with the other eye, of course. :rolleyes:

no really, its over use of the eye and lack of sleep

even if youre not sleeping much, you should spend more time just lying there with your eyes closed. and maybe spend less time on the computer

My leg twitches a lot like that sometimes. It's a good conversation starter when sitting next to friends at lunch.

"Kevin...is your leg rubbing violently against mine?"
"Ignore it, Andrew, and it'll go away when it's done."

CUT IT OFF!!!

No! It'll just run around on its own! What we have here, my friends, is a possession.

Someone find a young priest and an old priest...

Enjoy the fact that lack of depth-perception makes driving in the city an adventure again!
Or you could just do what a do when I have spasms and ignore them, they generally go away in a couple of days.

I suggest that you strip naked, paint yourself green, put on a necklace of sausages, and tap-dance on your front lawn with the sprinklers running while playing La Marseillaise on the heckelphone and listening to metal on your MP3 player.

It won't do any help, but I've always wanted to give that advice to someone...so that I'll know I'm not the only person who does that....

Do you cook the sausages first? Because I used to (that way you have a handy snack for afters) but I kept having to explain away the reason why I had grease burns all over my neck the next day.

It's all those drugs you're on.

Generally, I didn't cook them, but then I lived in the Deep South, so go figure.

Now that I live up North, I'm kind of forced to cook them, but generally I cover each one with a paper towel partly to prevent that, and partly because then you could hold them afterwards without getting burnt.

This happens to me...cept my whole body will suddenly twitch. Pisses the teachers off, I find it rather entertaining. I wonder if it has anything to do with my two concussions in 8 months...my 2 displaced vertabrates in my neck, my bruised spinal chord, and streched tendon in my neck (Or is it ligament...I was not payign attention to the doctor). *thinks for awhile* Nah, that can't be it.

*holds eye* Nooooo!
See? I told you you'd put an eye out waving that thing around....

Twitch for me usually means I need more sleep.

I like how Colidia has outright ignored the suggestion that he might be spending too much time in front of a computer monitor... addicted much? :p

<Hands Colodia a pink eyepatch to wear over the twitching eye.>

Heh, just get some sleep.

I'm tellin ya, man, just cut the offending mothafucka off.
