What is Hemifacial Spasm?

Involuntary twitching movement of facial muscles due to compression of the facial nerve.

Here’s another tip: spasms get worse when you are under a lot of stress! So, #1 prescription should be to eliminate as much stress as possible in your life and see what happens. I speak from personal experience.

One of the down sides of Botox injection is that when the effect is gone the spasms and tics come back even worse. So not a good treatment. Not even temporary since it doesn’t address the base and reasons for the disease.

The best treatment for this disorder is Acupuncture. There is a huge advantage in using acupuncture as the treatment: firstly it relaxes the relevant nerve and even repairs some of the damage occurred. Secondly by creating a general mental relaxation takes the stress away from the patient that helps to control the disease. I have used it for my nerve damage and worked perfectly. I did it for 10 sessions. Try it, nothing to lose but everything to gain.

I’m suffering from these spasms and it hurts so bad that all I can do is close my eyes, and breath. Nothing more .... it hurts so bad that I wanna cry but I can’t cause I’m like paralysed.... I’m just screaming in the inside till it stops . Meditation helps .. but I need to get rid of this. It’s been years since I’m suffering from this.

I have noticed a spasm in my bottom lip (cant be seen) but I feel it almost like a cramp. I have been under stress for over a year over a family illness but I have a history of sensory small stroke. Should I speak to my GP. Can it be caused by increased antidepressant?
