I think I have that - yeah that! -
Blepharospasm: "a focal dystonia - a neurological movement disorder involving involuntary and sustained muscle contractions of the muscles around the eyes. Benign means the condition is not life threatening. Essential indicates that the cause is unknown, but fatigue, stress, or an irritant are possible contributing factors." Wikipedia
OK - or it could just be a basic eye twitch. I've gone through periods of eye twitching before, but the past week or so, I've had crazy twitching in my left eye. I don't think it's permanent but goodness - it's annoying. I'm guessing it from fatigue ... so why am I blogging - I should be sleeping. zzzzzzzz...
Wade (my optometrist brother-in-law) is soooo laughing at me right now. He and Amy are my 'go-to' people for any medical question I have big or small. And most of the time, I'm a big hypochondriac. But hopefully my basal ganglia is okay so my eye twitching will subside.

I used to go to jazzersize at 5:30 every morning. I loved it. But my eye would twitch. When I stopped going, it didn't twitch. I don't blame it on Jazzersize, I blame it on lack of sleep. :)
Go take a nap!
The terms you used are the best! Wade will be highly entertained, I'm sure :). Other muscle twitching/spasming can be from low calcium, I think. Drink milk and sleep, baby.
