Treatment History
Symptoms Experienced:
Initially, just a slight twitching of my left eye. Unfortunately, over the years, this has progressed to an almost constant fluttering of my eyelid and the area below my eye. I also now have a pulling sensation at the side of my lip. When I smile it is especially difficult to keep my left eye open normally.
Medications Tried: I have tried to stay away from any type of medicine or Botox. After reading about some of the experiences that other people have had from them, I've decided that wasn't the route I wanted to take.
