can someone tell me why???

my left eyelid has been twitching on a very frequent basis since 2 weeks ago.
why is that?? will bad luck befall me or will it be the opposite? superstitious!!!
it is not as serious as winking ...only i know it is twitching and others will not notice it. and the twitching only comes during weekdays. when i get home, it stops twitching. i am not allergic to work, am i??
i googled some reasons for this and found some answers:
  1. tiredness
  2. lack of sleep
  3. anxiety
  4. eye strain
  5. corneal irritation
  6. neurological disorders
  7. possibly hereditary
so which category do i fall in?? i think i have been getting enough sleep these few days...could be job related stress. hopefully once work is smooth again, then the twitching will move away. so for the moment, dun be surprised if you suddenly get a wink from me. wink! wink!

left eye twitching = good.
right eye twitching = bad.

but honestly eye twitching means mentally unrest.

chill mate~

oh, that! I am still under medication now. It has a relapse now and then.

You get symptoms like these:
1. palpitation
2. trembling hands (and legs, if serious)
3. insomnia
4. easily angered and worried
5. some people (like my dad) get eye problem - the muscles around the eyes become loosen, etc.

So, go have a blood test for T3, T4, TSH and these these the doctor will know. Test in hospital will be cheaper.

One more important symptom:

tremedeous weight drop (hyper) or weight increase (hypo).

This is usually the first thing people notice before the other symptoms. Do you have these??

ok..left eye twitching= good...
i am still waiting for the good thing to come after few weeks (!!!)

the symptoms, err....i dun think i have them...yeah!!! i can sleep well at night (but not always dreamless nowadays), no palpitation, no sudden weight loss, twitching nerve on left hand used to have few months ago but now has stopped and emotionally stable.
is that a relief or what??
will wait and see how it is after the one week holidays. hope the holiday is not going to be a stressful one. will use the opportunity to chill.
if no improvement...then body check...gulp!
