Left Eye Twitching/Seems like symptoms worse after eating
My left eye lid as been twitching like crazy for a week or so...Also, I have new spasms, they feel like flowing spasms, if that makes sense, also I have the regular ones too.
After I eat a meal, these symptoms seem to kick up, most times....
This Sucks!

Don't focus so much on each and every minor thing that you experience. It makes it seem worse. I have these as well, but they have improved with treatment. If you can focus on things outside of your immediate condition, you will one day notice that some of these things are just no longer present.
That said, severe or unexpected changes on symptoms should definitely be taken serious and discuss with your doctor.

Ok..Its just nice to see what others have to say and I am relying on HOPE, like we all are.

Rob, I have this too; seems worse if I'm stressed.
Rob, if you edit/PENCIL icon your subject line to read, "eye twitching, do you have?"; you will receive more replies.
The more specific your topic line gets their attention & they'll be there for you.
We have 3-4 FULL screens of posts/replies DAILY, so we have to limit what we read. Thanks for understanding.

Hi Rob, My left eye is twitching too and my eyebrow vibrates like crazy. It kicks up after I take the tetra. Since we eat 20 minutes after tetra it may seem like eating is causing it but I think the tetra sets it off. Stress makes it much worse for me too.
Echoing Betty's comment, try to give better clues in the title. Many people with eye twitching may be missing this post.
Echoing Scott's comment, as we go through this journey many of us will have a never ending array of symptoms. This is normal. Most times when I get a new symptom, I recall a post here about it. That puts me at ease and I just ride it out. These days as I'm resuming a normal schedule, I focus on what I'm able to do and just ignore the various, twitches, tingles, pricks, aches... that come and go.
Another option when you have a new symptom, is to do a search. If I didn't have LymeNet no doubt all these weird symptoms would be baffling & terrifying and people includung my PCP would think I was nuts. Thankfully we have each other to learn from.
Of course if something really serious happens I would not just ride it out. I would post here ASAP and possibly get medical treatment (as a last resort). Most of my symptoms are variations on the themes of neurological wierdness & painful aching joints, ribs, shoulders... hats

At drcharlescrist.com he says lid twitches are a common Lyme symptom. I've recently had a brow twitch myself.
