Dr. David Satloff answered

Go to neurologist: get checked....the two things I would check out is the patency of your facial nerve. Impingemet or entrapment of cranial nerve 7 would cause eyelid t\witching. Also rule out the presence of Lyme disease because this also could cause muscle twitching in stage 2 presentation.
