My left eyelid keeps twitching. no pain, not constant, comes and goes but has increased in frequency the last few days.

Eyelid twitching: Twitching of the eye lid can be caused by eyestrain, fatigue, sleep deprivation. If none of this applies to you, try avoiding caffeine. It is rarely due to a serious problem and usually doesn't last long. Longer lasting eye twitching has been treated with botox.
