My lower left eyelid twitches at times. There's no stopping it either, it just lets up eventually. It can go on for minutes at a time. And it's very obvious when it happens.

I had 1 whole side of my face twitching for a couple months. I just waited it out. It was really annoying for sure.

Pressing on it does work for a short period of time.

Botox is an interesting idea for sure. If this doesn't go away soon, I'll be asking about that at my next neuro appt in August. It hasn't been as bad today, but I got more sleep last night. It's still doing it, just not as constantly as yesterday.

Holly, stress can cause this. And I'd say you've had more than your fair share lately. It'll probably stop just as suddenly as it started but I'd bet my paycheck ( I don't have one anymore!!) that it's stress.
