Eye lid twitching and a good laugh

Recently, I have been bothered with my eye lids twitching at odd and inconvienent moments to the point that I have done a little research. It seems that the eyelids are controlled, in part, by the facial muscles around the mouth.

Well, then! you may ask what I have discovered. It is so lovely and small and great!!!!

What my problem is, and what has caused my eye lid spasms is that I do not laugh enough. I found that if I am having an eye lid twitch, if I stop and laugh out loud, the eye in question gets a better attitude and leaves off with the twitching. I am so used to laughing to my self without the use of these muscles around my mouth (sort of a mental laugh out loud) that I have neglected the real thearpy of the old fashioned belly laugh.

Who knew? I love big laughing.

Love,
Betty

Laugh often Betty!

I am soooo glad you shared that with us, Betty!!!! My eye twitches for other reasons (Bell's Palsy being one of them). I catch myself smiling at the t.v. when nothing funny is on. I guess I am just a smiler.

Thanks again, Betty!

And all this time, I just thought it was a case of 'nerves' or something. My left eye muscles twitch both under and over the orb itself. Just once in a while. I shall have to try your remedy the next time I notice it. Isn't that what my mother used to call a nervous tic?

Seriously? If eyelid twitching occurs because you don't laugh enough mine should be going up and down like an elevator.

... yup

This is amazing. I thought I was involuntarily winking but instead I was twitching?

unfortunately it ain't me eyes twitching it's almost every part of my body, laughing don't help much hopefully the guy I'm seeing on tuesday might possibly know what the heck's going on
