The blank post by Dr. Oyakawa or Dr. Hagan simply means they've read the latest post and have nothing further to add.
Thanks! I know when i looked in the mirror yesterday, its like Im getting brown spots on my face and I decided i was going to leave the tanning bed alone....I dont want to look all blotchy! I just got into a therapist but it was the just my first visit so just all questions....it did seem like i got some things off my chest tho! I have a feeling it will be beneficial once i start going on a regular basis!! I freaked out when my eye started twitching...thinking it was a brain tumor or something like that wrong. I just always think the worse!! Havent really noticed my eye twitching all that much today, so maybe its gone or calming down :) Thanks again for all the advice!!!!
As the doctor said, you do not need to be worried. Eye twitches are harmless.
As for what to do,
1. Do not go tanning yourself. It will make your skin look way older faster.
2. If you have problems with anxiety, it would be a good idea to see a specialist like a counselor or psychiatrist about that. You would be much happier and calmer with therapy.
No one has noticed it, I just noticed it today. Anytime something new that happens to me freaks me out (anxiety). I do have some lubricating and allergy drops for my eyes. I did go tanning today and didn't keep the glasses on the whole time....wonder if there is a connection?? Should I be concerned or what should I do?? Thanks for ur help!
Is this something I should be concerned about or contact my doctor??
I get this every now and then. As Dr. Hagan says, it will go away. I find that (a) it is not so noticeable to other people as you think, and (b) comcentrating on it definitely does not help.
Oddly, mine seem go be made worse by anything that causes swelling in the area, like allergies. I have learned that in allergy season, my prescription antihistamine eyedrops really cut down on the fluttering.
It is also not the same as blepharospasm where the whole eye jerks closed or hemi-facial spasm where half the face jerks and contracts.
