 Posted: 01/16/06 - 01:00 Post subject: twitching of the temple |
  |
|
Hello. I'm 39 year old male and I'm really worried for my health. For all my life I was very healthy and at soon as something happen to me, even trivial, I become very frightened.
Listen what’s happening to me! About three weeks ago I have first time noticed that my left temple area is twitching. It was pretty strange for me but I didn’t pay too much attention on it because it stopped soon after. About ten days ago I have felt it again but now it is happening more often along with some abnormal movements of the whole face on that side. Can someone please tell me what is going on with me?

I really don’t know a lot about your condition but I'm pretty sure it is about some facial nerve disorder because you have all the symptoms.
Twitching of the temples, face skin weakness, and paralysis of the face are symptoms of a disorder involving the facial nerve.
This facial nerve goes along our whole face and if these nerve fibers become somehow irritated, then movements of the facial muscles appear as spasms or twitching, dryness of the eye or the mouth, or in disturbance of taste.
The reason of disorder could be bacterial infection or trauma. You should definitely contact your GP to get an appropriate treatment, antibiotics or steroid medications.
Wish you luck!

|

Hi Dinoto--
I have the same twitching on my left temple (though haven't had other symptoms, yet). It happens mostly at night when I'm sleeping on my left side--so badly it wakes me up. When I roll onto my back, it subsides within a minute or so. Does your twitching also happen at night--and do you clench your teeth? (I'm wondering if that's my cause--I have clenched for yrs (am now 24/f), but just began having this prob. last week.) I'm on no meds, am otherwise healthy, and don't even have caffeine.... Have you seen a Dr., yet? |

|

Hi all,
I have had a twitching in the left temple since last week. It comes and goes and even now, as I type, I can feel it. It's, as you all described, like some bugs are crawling underneath or something. It's doesn't hurt but it sure is irritating. Has anyone seen the doctor for this and what did the doc say?? |
