I started twitching about 8 hrs after the accident. I do all day. Anywhere on my body. The more I do, the more I twitch. That's a warning sign for me that I'm going to be in trouble if I don't stop!
So I take a break. If I have already gone to far my brain wants sleep.
Sometimes my arms and fingers shake and have twitches. My fingers will just start going back and forth faster than I can do it on my own. At this point my speech slurs and my brain is hitting the brick wall. Sleep is moments away.
The nerve that runs all throughout my brain controlling my vision is damaged. My actual eyes are fine, but the more visually I take in the quicker my brain runs down.
Movement, too many colors, cluttered environment, has a detrimental effect on me. The more I use my visual system, the more I twitch.
The muscles around my eyes have started twitching too. Feels very weird! Arms, legs, everywhere else I can get used to. But above and below my eyes. Nope.
Peace and wellness,
Jace
