I was here a long time ago but I've since changed emails and had to register with a new user name. I remember there was a name for the condition I have, but I can't remember what it was. I know everyone has problems with their eyelids twitching sometimes. I have problems with my eyelids and almost any other part of my body doing it at different times.
Someone told me this condition could be the start of Parkinson's Disease, or it may never get any worse than it is now. I've had this going on since I was about 12 years old. I'm 36 now. It doesn't hurt, but it can almost drive you crazy sometimes.
The other night, my bottom lip was twitching. At the same time, both sides of my nose and my right eyelid were twitching and it went on for a few hours. My thumb and finger on my left hand started during all of this too. That lasted most of the night. Tonight, I felt my right foot doing something. I lifted my foot up on the bed to see my toes twitching. Big toe to the left, toe next to it to the right, the next toe twitching like it was being pulled backward. Like I said, no pain, but very annoying. This was almost 6 hours ago, and it hasn't stopped. I was at the movies the other night and the back side of my left calf, just below the knee, started twitching and lasted until the next morning.
I know other people here have the same problem, but I just can't remember the name. Has anyone seen a doctor about it? Is there danger of it progressing into Parkinson's or something else. I thought about asking my doctor if there is medication to control this. It's been this way for several years, but recently it seems that more places at once are doing it. Plus, I'm a little more concerned after what I heard. Any help would be appreciated.
