Pretty sure, that's stress related.

Nope. It can't be stress because she has a low stress job. It's definitely the nematodes.

Could be a few things. My eyelid did that a few years ago, and I found out that I was over-training. Exercising too hard without eating enough food.

It could also be stress. Or a nerve problem.

Have you been doing anything different lately? If you've changed something, it might be that.

well, it's definitely not too much exercise! could be stress. the biggest change lately has been cutting out carbs because of the gestational diabetes.

I get that from time to time. It'll last for a couple of days and drive me crazy. I have also had it in my knee. Annoying. I'm not sure what causes it though.

Crazy, this happened to me a few months ago and it actually lasted for over a month. I went to the eye doctor, found out I have 20/20 vision and he said it could be caused from either stress, lack of sleep and/or from my computer monitor. He recommended I lower the monitor so I'm not looking up at it and to get some type of glare screen for it. I didn't get the screen but I did lower the monitor. I actually had been going through some stress both at work and in my personal life around that time which has since been taken care of, at least with my personal life anyway

I'm happy to say I'm now 100% twitch free
