Hi all - for the last week I’ve had this eye twitch in my left eye which is the opposite side from my tremors. It’s off and on throughout the day. It also feels Like my eyelid is getting “stuck” as I blink. It has been a very stressful week with less sleep than normal. So maybe that’s all it is. Has anyone else experienced this ?

Motor fluctuations and involuntary movements in Parkinson's can manifest in various ways, including facial movements like eye twitching. These symptoms can occur at different times and on different sides of the body. The feeling of your eyelid getting "stuck" could be related to muscle stiffness, which is a common symptom of Parkinson's. Your observation about stress and lack of sleep is important - these factors can indeed intensify Parkinson's symptoms. Some MyParkinsonsTeam members have reported experiencing facial symptoms, including squinting and facial muscle changes, particularly during medication "off" periods. If this symptom persists or concerns you, it would be worth discussing with your healthcare provider, as they may want to evaluate your current medication timing and dosage.
