My eyelid has been twitching every 10 mins for the past 3 days. It’s getting quite annoying.

Besides punching my eyeball what else could I do?

Try eating a banana, the potassium helps control muscle contractions.

Yep, also if you want temporary relief you can try a warm compress on the eye. I imagine it helps relax the muscles a bit and let the eye rest (and even if it doesn’t work, a warm compress can feel nice)

Hey don’t get any ideas. I just can’t lie and I’m a lawyer. I’m trying to get the trial postponed.

I’m not sure if you’re referencing Fight Club or suggesting this quote from Liar-Liar violates the “no violence” rule on the site.

If you’re desperate enough to ask for home remedies on the internet, then you’re desperate enough to see an actual doctor. This issue might be more complicated than it seems.

I’ve cheated death far too many times to go out by something like Eye-Twitch Disease.

I’ll die in an exciting and glorious way like an exploding fireball off a cliff.

You never know. ETD is a common cause of death for desert dwellers with glowing eyes.

You don’t make a living by collecting scrap metal by any chance do you?

This. There’s a new disease going around. You feel perfectly fine except for your eye twitching, and then bam! you die.

Have some fruit, water, and a nap. Are you feeling stressed? I’m usually either dehydrated, stressed, or both when mine starts twitching. Luckily haven’t had it in a while!

Make sure the doctor uses a left hook. Hitting with a right hook can cause permanent damage
