twitching

five days ago my right eyelid started having twitching spasms. usually just 1 or 2 seconds in duration. weird. tonight my left eyelid started having twitching spasms too.

i finally googled "twitching eyelids" and learned this:

"Causes of Eye Twitching
There are various causes of eye twitching in its serious and not so serious formats. The more common causes for eye twitching include:
Corneal irritation or injury
Stress
Lack of sleep
Fatigue
Prolonged staring or eye strain
Neurological disorders
Possibly Hereditary

Prevention is best when it comes to twitching. All in all you should work to relieve your stress and get as much rest as possible. If eye strain results in twitching, be sure you get plenty of breaks during the day to help rest your eyes and reduce the severity of your symptoms."

hmmmmm...

i will also say that i got applause from my four friends in the car to south carolina when i announced that i intentionally left my planner at school for the weekend.

hmmmmm....

I'm glad you left your planner! How was SC?

You know, I'm learning again that there's so many different kinds of stress. It's not all bad. Even in the stress of busy-ness, there can be a thread of calm. And of course there can be stress I put on myself when I don't keep my eyes on Jesus. And sometimes serious stress cannot be avoided and you just hang on to God for dear life.

Whatever kind you have, I'm praying for you!

Drink less caffiene and make sure you have an adequate level of calcium each day..that's my nurse advice. I am two for two on eye questions with the votes this week...just ask your mom. (though I did tell her to call the doctor, just in case...)

she doesn't drink even a smidge of caffiene except for an occasional mug of cocoa in the winter.
