Hi guys..!

I been having this weird face twitch ...last year same time I had eye twitch that lasted 24/7 (even during sleep!!)

I am not sure why this face twitch is happening...it is killing me...I am afraid it is HFS...

this face twitch does not follow any pattern, it doesnt follow a pulse, heart beat..

Can you guys please let me know if you have had this before?

I went to the doctor for my eye twitch last year..he did referred me for a regular MRI..and obciously MRI shows nothing...he refused to give me FIESTA sequence MRI..and when i went to see the neurosurgeon..the neurosurgeon basically just said it's hard to tell...that's it..over months of waiting..

I went to my family doctor a few days ago,,,for my face twitch..he is gonna refer me to a neurologist...I am not sure how long the wait is...

i think im getting anxiety attack from this...i would stay home and cry for hours...

i was trying to upload a video here but for some reason i cant

please give me som input..any inpute will be greatly appreciated..

    sorry i wanna add a bit information..

    the eye twitch that lasted for 24/7 last year was on the left side...

    it subsided after a month...I would experience some twitching here and there (both on left and right face)

    and this face twitch now is on the left side..

      Hi vivian, I have been experiencing mild twitches under my left nose near the end of the gums since 2 weeks ago. I thought that the spasms will go away but it didn't and it becomes more frequent now. I am suspecting that it is due to my braces because my dentist moved my teeth inwards. Can you give me an update about your condition?
