Yes, I’m repeating myself but I’m beside myself also with anxiety.
4 months now – I’ve had this eye twitch, it has gotten better but it’s getting better so slowly. I have tried ignoring it, distraction, doing something else, not worrying about it, eating better, sleeping better, less time on the computer etc, I can’t really get rid of the stress as I run my own business and I’m struggling with how busy it’s getting. My anxiety is at an all-time high, but it’s perpetuated by the twitch. I have seen a neurologist who said ’ it’s nothing sinister,’ I have been to an Optometrist about 3 times, he’s done all the tests and said he can’t see anything, and I’ve been to the Dr 4 times, went yesterday asking about MS but she said, NO and then she started googling on-oing eye twitch, she told me to take some antihistamines and wait for the nerve to calm down, but she wasn’t much help. Thing is, is that my eye twitches mainly when I touch it, if I touch it, then it twitches and the other eye will twitch as well, surely that means something – but no-one can pin point what? If it were a tumour I woudn’t be able to make it twitch – or so the Dr said. I asked for an MRI and she said I wont get one through the system as I don’t have any other symptoms so I may need to pay for one myself. What would YOU do…. I have asked this before, but that was a month ago – now imagine it’s been happening another month, would you keep ignoring it or try to get to the bottom of it? Is there another specialist I can see? A cranial nerve specialist? Nerve Specialist – don’t say, psychiatrist… I’m goinig to see one ;)
