I've tried to peg it when my last Mesty was but there is no relationship there.
I've even tried to see the twitching in the mirror and can't. For something that feels so dramatic on the inside - - there's nothing on the outside!!
Thoughts anyone?
Thanks,

Exactly how my double vision started, in fact that is how my MG started...
Now that I have had MG for about 9 months (I think?) when my eyes feel this way it is because either:
1- Too much Mestinon (usual cause)
2- Not enough Mestinon
3- Too much stress or activity
When my eyes feel twitchy from too much Mestinon, it usually starts about 20 minutes after I take Mestinon and lasts for at least an hour and then slowly fades.
If stress causes my eyes to twitch it happens immediately as I experience stress. I have no tolerance for stressful situations, even small amounts of stress. If I don't relax within about 5 minutes, my MG symptoms progress into extreme weakness which is scary.
Twitchy eyes seem to be my first sign that I need to take some kind of action so I don't get worse symptoms.
I hope your eyes are feeling better.
