Title: Eye lid twitch
Post by: trev0024 on February 06, 2012, 08:01:36 pm

Has anyone experienced upper eyelid twitch on affected AN side? I am dealing with this and have recent AN diagnosis? Is this realted? I'm hoping this isn't facial nerve involvement. Any thoughts appreciated.

Hi Trev

I have eye lid twitch, it is so annoying, could be facial nerve involvement. I have facial nerve neuromas, but from what I can make out the symptoms are so similar
Hope this helps,sometimes knowing that it isn't;t just you helps

I get a twitch just under my eye on the tumor side.  I too have a facial neuroma.

I do get a twitch once in awhile.  My doctor said that it happens especially when there is stress, your tired, or too much coffee.  (Stress, yep.  Tired, yep.  Is there such thing as too much coffee? )

I hope the twitch relaxes soon,
Kathy

PS  Let your doctor know this and see what he/she says.
Good Luck.

I had tons of these teeny tiny twitches last week.  Clusters of them.  But they've subsided this week.  On the tumor side.  Haven't asked the doctor about them yet.  Looking back at my old posts, I guess I had these in December too.  Now they're just about gone again . . .

I don't recall having these pre-op but certainly post-op, and they continue 20 years later. Irritating yes but the least of worries I think.
