Udkas, my dear - I have never heard of migraine causing twitching or being prevoked by heat. I, too, have had serious eye pain and twitching, numbness in the face (but I'm fine....). Migraine was dismissed for me because none of the migraine meds worked. Thankfully, I have not yet lost my vision, but some how I always expect it with the severe pain in my eye.
I don't have an answer, but I certainly can sympethize!

I don't have an answer, but I have somewhat similar sx. My left eye (and sometimes my right) has daily vision problems (blurriness). I do get episodic pain in the left eye (though not daily) and have droopiness in the eyelid with the pain.
I can't tell if it's migraine, pain from TN, or something else. I haven't asked my neuro about it because the optomitrist said my eyes were fine and perfectly healthy and my glasses rx hasn't changed. The blurriness an dpain come and go, so doesn't seem to be ON. I've been assuming migraine, but who knows...
I, like you Udkas, am permanently confused!

I am laughing, I have this vision of you with the parrot and the bandanna. I am like you i have two problems, the TM which gives me symptoms similar to that of MS with pins and needles, burning, weakness etc. mainly legs but I also have facial symptoms. My neuro thought my facial symptoms were from migraine aura (as I never seemed to develop much of a headache), this was vertigo, numbness etc. but this eye twitching is worse with migraine but seems to occur daily and is aggravated by the heat and shower etc? I know you can eye twitching with MS as well. I can't work out what is what, I can't see the trees for the forest! I am confused! I wish I had some guidance, that I could ring my neuro and just chat to him and then I would feel so much better about all this!
I guess for me I am just confused, confused and more confused and fed up with weird stuff happening! I guess it's not the end of the universe. My last brain MRI was over two years ago and the previous one to that was prob. 8 years earlier. I feel like I am having new symptoms but it could or they could be just migraine. When I had the initial TM attack there was no disputing that there was something 'big" wrong with me. Now I just have annoying things like twitching eye, tingling, bladder spasms, extension tremor, vertigo etc. etc. most of these symptoms could be attributed to migraine and or MS. My facial stuff is not TM. As TM is spinal and he thinks I have a lesion in my cervical and thoracic, so that would not affect my face. Though he did mention brainstem too, so I don't know!
I should try migraine medicine and see what that does but at the moment I am taking enough crap for my poor body. I am taking this vesicare to see if it helps with my bladder and the gabapentin. I too have had migraines where I have lost my eye sight all be it for only a few seconds.
I am permanently confused!
Udkas (confused)
Funny you mention eye twitching mine just started last Wednesday. I can't decide if it is migraine or MS. I have migraine symptoms where I lose vision until my headache medicine kicks in but the twitching is new.
I am having bad headache from allergies and stress. It started on the way to my brother's for Thanksgiving. I had a friend who could not be with family on Thanksgiving because of a root canal and I envied her. LOL.
I have patched it at night and it feels better. Besides my husband likes it. But he wants me to wear a red bandanna with it and a parrot. Go figure.
