The jaw muscle on the left side of my face has been twitching all morning [More:] and it's driving me insane. Should I be worried?
No. You should do some deep breathing, though.

Yeah that's annoying. One of life's mysteries.

Smearing peanut butter on it has helped me in the past.

Woah, deep breathing made it stop. Yay! Thanks, Specklet!

It was probably stress. I get eye twitches when I'm stressed. I've had one all weekend.

God, I hate that. When I get one of those it's always the corner of my eyelid. And that's when I realize I'm massively stressed out and didn't know it. Breathing and other destressing techniques usually works for me. Cutting back on caffeine also makes a big difference.

added to Specklet's very good advise: avoid any more caffeine.

I have a small, exceedingly occasional tic in my left eyebrow. the only things I've noted that trigger it are things like lack of sleep, followed by stressful situations, and it's always worse if I complicate matters with too much coffee. I call it my jacked-up-eyebrow.

and yea, it's annoying as all heck when it crops up. any relaxation techniques tend to help sort it out.

I'm pretty stressed out at work, so that would make a lot of sense. I am breathing deeply and imagining that I am alone on an island in the South Pacific with anti-gravity boots and a matter replicator to take care of my needs. It's starting to help!

It's still twitching. I'm going to have to cut my jaw off if this doesn't stop.
