Feeling Twitchy

I've has an eye twitch for the last 14 hours. You know the little fluttering kind that make you look and feel utterly dumb? Being the good card-carrying-WebMD-checking hypochondriac that I am, I found this:

"What Is Eye Twitch?

Eye twitches are commonly known as (big word), which is defined as the repetitive and rhythmic contraction of the eyelid muscles which usually affects both eyes. Eye twitches are also less commonly known as (bigger word), which is defined as the twitching or continuous movement of muscle fiber groups. Sometimes eye twitch is confused with (scary word), which is the jerking or jumping of the eye itself. This is an entirely different condition and an optometrist or ophthalmologist should be able to make a proper diagnosis after a full examination. "

Uh oh. Let's hope my whole eye doesn't make a run for it. Well Dr. Web, what causes this odd phenomena?

"Why Does My Eye Twitch?

Eye twitches can be triggered by a variety of different factors. Some of the conditions that cause eye twitches are environmental, some are physiological, and some are psychological in nature. Below is a list of some of the more common causes of eye twitch:

- Fatigue or lack of sleep
- Over consumption of caffeine
- Physical or emotional stress
- Anxiety or phobias
- Brain damage or other neurological disorders
- Associated with temper tantrums (especially in children)
- Eye stress associated with extended viewing of the computer screen
- Epilepsy"

Check, check, check, CHECK, maybe check, kinda check, yes check, ...uh... not check?

My eye is still twitching.

Do you have a medical plan at the office du Tempy? Seems like a good time to use it, because that's way too long for one of those to go on.
