How I Stopped my Hemifacial Spasm!

Alexander Technique Student explains how learning the Alexander Technique allows her to control her Hemifacial Spasm

[spross]

HFS is when an artery is pushed against most likely against the 7th cranial nerve, in order for the twitch to stop you need to have the nerve moved away from the artery. The nerve is twitching due to loosing the protective myelin shield which has been rubbed off by the friction between the artery and the nerve.

I started having this a couple years back. Left eye twitching. I tried botox a couple times that made it worse as my eye lids now dropped and i was unable to open the eye fully. A friend at work suggested seeing a chiropractor and who helped fix my posture and I realized the same things mentioned here. I get this more when I am stressed or worked up. 2 things. 1. With the chiro and changing posture habits I am able to open the eye normally. 2. The twitch still happens but less frequently and I can manage it by focusing on relaxing, fixing posture and gently massaging my face. Hope this helps.

[spookyvegan]

I’ve been struggling with this for 10yrs
I would like to know how to stop it
I have been getting BOTOX shots which just make me look like a stroke victim & not a twitching mess
My eyes blink in different timing & it’s always fun to wash my eye & get soap in it along with all the other joys of this condition
I have to introduce my spasm to folks as they meet me
It sucks

Might as well share my experience

Friday at 5pm was the very first time I got it, I was super anxious that morning but after that I was good until the twitching started witch lasted all night. Saturday morning I wake up and I feel it again but it went away after 30 minutes. Went to my 10-6 job and it started around the same time 5PM and lasted for like 30 minutes (Same specific area upper cheek) Sunday I had not had it at all but literally 9PM I just got it and lasted for like 30 minutes. I have it on my mind all day like it's ready to do it until it actually twitches and I see see it on my left eye and my co workers see it. Any advice? I was planning on going to a Chiropractor soon and I don't want to take medication or a Doctor.

Please I am 17 and I have so much anxiety about it and it's only one specific area above my left cheek.

EDIT 2022 AUGUST: ALL GONE Guysss it's all in your head. Forget about it, distract yourself. This happens to me now but when im super stressed but when it comes I just lwt it be and then it goes away in a few minutes but thank goodness I rarely get it now . God bless you all ❤️ (It tooke me about a week or 2 for it to go away but im just letting you guys know now)
