      What does it mean if you have involuntary eye twitching? I remember being asked on several different hospitaliztions/dr’s. visit’s if I experienced this. Of course, at the time, no…….now…..yes! (Off and on x three days.)

      I think all the nice people on this board who respond to my endless questions should start charging for their services! One of these days I hope my knowledge grows enough that I can stop thinking about having CIDP; it’s just on my mind every day.

      Sheila I know I was told it’s my nerves. When I am nervous and over tired I might get like that, like my eyes jumps twitches usually only one at a time. Check anywhere on goggle or Web MD and they will explain it better. I think I read that you can rub your eye when it happens to help it. But better check with Webmd.com for information.
      Isn’t just annoying especially if it goes on for a very long time?
      I hate it

      I had the eye twitching for a few weeks and it is annoying. I was told not to worry and that my eyes were just tired. Not sure if that was true, but it went away and hasnt happened again. I was doing IVIG at the time. Not sure if it’s another thing that goes with that or not.

      good luck with the twitch

      My eye twitches if I’m nervous or overly tired, it happens more than I like, lol. The doctor said it wasn’t anything to worry about, it’s just irrating.

      Hang on, are we talking about twitching eye lids which is feature of tiredness or fatigue. Or twitching eyes which is nystagmus as seen in MS. DocDavid

      To Doc David….

      We are talking about an involuntary twitching on the lower lid; you can see the twitching….lasts for several seconds and usually repeats.

      Sheila, I get sharp cramps in my eyes. One no longer dialates. Both are dry, and my vision deteriorates as the day wears on. I was recently dxd with Horners Syndrome affecting a primary neve. Totally unrelated to my CIDP, of course. Ahem.
