Is it justifiable to punch yourself in the eye?
My eyelid has been twitching every 10 mins for the past 3 days. It's getting quite annoying.
Besides punching my eyeball what else could I do?

Yep, also if you want temporary relief you can try a warm compress on the eye. I imagine it helps relax the muscles a bit and let the eye rest (and even if it doesn't work, a warm compress can feel nice)
If you’re desperate enough to ask for home remedies on the internet, then you’re desperate enough to see an actual doctor. This issue might be more complicated than it seems.
I've cheated death far too many times to go out by something like Eye-Twitch Disease.
I'll die in an exciting and glorious way like an exploding fireball off a cliff.
I've also heard that the symptom is prevalent in those who suffer from Glutiusmaximusinyourbutticusitis
You never know. ETD is a common cause of death for desert dwellers with glowing eyes.
You don’t make a living by collecting scrap metal by any chance do you?
This. There’s a new disease going around. You feel perfectly fine except for your eye twitching, and then bam! you die.
Have some fruit, water, and a nap. Are you feeling stressed? I'm usually either dehydrated, stressed, or both when mine starts twitching. Luckily haven't had it in a while!
Make sure the doctor uses a left hook. Hitting with a right hook can cause permanent damage
Happens to me sometimes from greater than normal amounts of stress. Goes away after 3-4 days.
Eat a banana and drink some water and stop taking so many stimulants and get some rest.
Do you take any meds? I swear I've heard of this as a side effect before. Unless I'm just remembering some old I Love Lucy episode or something.... Are you Lucy?
I see a lot of people suggesting potassium, and that's what I usually do, but for a while now, it turns out that I needed magnesium (helps relax the muscles). I'm not a doctor, so definitely check with a professional, but having some nuts like walnuts might be a good idea.
Many people go straight to recommending potassium, but magnesium is key for helping muscle contractions. Fortunately bananas are also rich in magnesium as well as potassium, so they may be helpful for more than one reason.
imo, it's probably a lack in magnesium.
when I get those, I just sleep it off. Just tired muscles in my experience.
Try to get some rest? Take a good multivitamin? Either of these things seems considerably more reasonable than punching yourself in the eye
Stress and lack of sleep will make your eye twitchy. Drink some chamomile tea and eat a chocolate cookie.
I wish....no I don't. I'm a former meth addict and haven't done anything stronger than coffee in many moons. But even coffee doesn't affect me.
Take some potassium supplements.
Twitchy muscles are a sign of low potassium.
Potatoes are a better source than bananas, by the way.
Also, trust your food cravings. I bet if you look up the nutrition info on whatever food you’ve been craving during this time, you’ll find it’s high in potassium.
