A member asked:
My left eye twitches fiercely of late. i have had bells palsy twice on that side, once about a year ago. does this mean i am getting it again?

Eye twitches: You might be developing a problem called hemifacial spasm - i would recommend you contact a neurologist for further evaluation and sometimes this can be treated surgically if there is a arterial compression of the facial nerve.

No: It is more likely that this from your previous bell's palsy. Btw, bell's palsy is often misdiagnosed in my experience. Be sure you have had a work-up for this.

Get checked: Recurrent bell's palsy is not common so it is possible there is another reason for facial paralysis and now "blepharospasm". I am not sure if you had an MRI at any point to make sure there isn't something else going on inside your brain area but if not i would do so asap. I would see an ENT or a neurologist who can get to the bottom of what is going on.
