Hi everyone, not been on in a while, i have been getting facial twitching for a few weeks now, which im very scared about, have never experienced this before, hoping its just anxiety related but cant help thinking its something serious!
Really need someone to talk to about this.

Yes on and off for the last six months. Most definitely an anxiety symptom Jen.

I have had it for at least 30 years, its totally harmless. At present at last once daily my top lips twitches enough to be seen. I don't thnk there is a part of my face/body that has not twitched at some point over the years. I can go months twitch free and then I can get a twitch that can be constant but only for a few weeks or intermittant and last for many many months. I once had a twitching thigh muscle that was almost constant and lasted 6 months but its not caused by any neuro disease.

My Gp told me that any neuro disease that can cause muscle twitching would give you other unmissible symptoms long before the twitching starts.

I think almost everyone on this site twitches:)

I twitch from time to time, sometimes my eye, or my lip, sometimes it feels like one side my face.

Oddly enough... I don't get worried about it even though my HA is quite severe!

Sure do Jen. I've had this intermittently for as long as I can remember. For me, it's definitely anxiety related.

I get this loads, its usually when im exhausted and really tired (another side effect of anxiety!!) it is completely harmless, it is just nerve endings and often due to being shattered. Don't worry! xx
