Twitching eye...

Hello all,
Its been a year since I've been here and a year since my last attack. My remission period runs from a year to 1 1/2 years, so I know its coming in the next six months.
My wife and I noticed that my right eye has been twitching the last couple of days and we both remembered that this had happened just before my last cycle had started. I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience with their eye?
Thanks,
Mark

I dont know if I am about to start a cycle, but my left eye is twitching a lot. The left side is where I get my CHs. I believe the eye twitching is due to my new job, which involves a lot of computer work.
Other reasons for eye twitching are fatigue, stress, and overall tiredness. How is your sleeping?

I have always noticed eye twitching before a cycle starts. That is one reason I was diagnosed with Tic Delereaux for several years. I have twitching of my right eye, tearing, and congested nasal all on the side of my clusters. Usually the onset is minutes away.

I also get eye twitches before a cycle - usually a month or so before hand. Then my sleep gets weird... I find my self completely awake at 6:00 am, then at 5:00 am, then I start waking up in the middle of the night, then the beast arrives in full glory. Another premonition is a strange twinging in the feet and somewhere in the brain. I was at the twinging and waking up at the middle of the night, but after taking 5htp over the weekend, I was able to sleep normally. I started taking tyrosine as well to boost norepinephrine and dopamine. So far no clusters, but the summer is young!

I get the eye twitching as my first indicator that a cycle is ramping up. I don't get nightmares.
(or dreams for that matter, I was told you have to sleep for those to happen. I make up for it by daydreaming!)

I'm chronic, so don't know if it starts a cycle, but...
My right eye twitches off & on all the time and sometimes my left eye twitches.

Eye twitching... yes.
Last cycle it twitched almost constantly for 3 weeks during the peak of the cycle. Nearly drove me mad.

Dr. Gladstone at Mayo Clinic Scottsdale told me that the eye twitching is from the bizarre sleep patterns, fatigue we get during clusters.

I get the twitching before the cycle, before the sleep rhythm is disturbed, before the fatigue, before anything. Therefore, I don't believe it's a result of fatigue, in my case anyway.

I also don't believe it is the result of fatigue because it is only my left eye that twitches.... my cluster eye. And it is usually a harbinger of a severe flare up. It was twitching like crazy today and I've had to resort to imitrex so I'm walking on eggshells. I hope the verapamil holds...

I thought it sounded weird also - because I don't get it either when I'm tired, but drugged and not clustering....
That's what he told me... but they obviously have a lot of gaps in what they know about cluster..

Thank you all for your answers and input. So far the beast is still in hibernation. He should be up and killing me within the next six months.
Take care all...

OK folks, I posted on twitching a couple of times a while back. Before anyone makes the mistake of typing twitching muscles into a search engine, then dying of fright OR worse like me, almost kill yourself in a car wreck with worry... PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR FUCKS SAKE:

Especially if more than your eyelid is twitching.

Yup, I'm a twitcher, too. Only in my cluster eye, a few weeks before and about two weeks into my cluster cycle. My last cycle I was on Verapamil and did not have this problem - maybe because my headaches were not as bad because of the preventitive?
