I am so stressed that my left eye is twitching.→[More:]That's about it. How are you? Do you handle stress well? What about deadlines? I'm not so good with them. They... well, they cause stress, and resultant eye-twitching. Now I have to go back to work. Bye.

I give killer backrubs. That's what you need.

I've had the eye twitching thing. It started about halfway through a 120-hour work week, and took about a month to go away after things settled down. Perservere, goatdog, for this too shall pass.

Also, alcohol.

I've had the eye-twitching thing. Try some potassium and a doobie.

That or cultivate the madness. There's nothing quite like having your eye twitch for a few days and wondering if you're actually going to snap and just lose any relative amount of grip whatsoever.

I caught the lower left eyelid twitch on 9/11 and didn't get rid of it until the following April. Finally got it licked with potassium supplements (cheap!). And good luck with your imminent deadline, goatdog.

The only way to get rid of a left eyeball twitch is to KILL THAT IDIOT CLOUSEAU!

Oh man, twitches, shakes and jolts! My doc finally said fuck it and prescribed Geodon for me. Now life is all fluffy clouds and lollipops! ;-P

Geez, that sucks. My right eye twitches sometimes, but it always goes away with much cursing and rubbing and beer.

It is eyelid myokymia, in most cases. It is caused by caffeine. It is harmless.

Carry on.

Caffiene, you say? I.. uh... hrm.

I guess having a twitching eyelid isn't so bad, really.
