Eye

My left eye has been seriously twitching for a few days now. Ever happened to you? It first ocurred the first time I was at a gun range a few months ago, and every time a gun would go off my eyes would twitch even when I was shooting. I have read the twitch is associated with stress.
Every since the indoor gun range, whenever I hear "LOUD NOISES!" or get scared by any little thing, my eye twitches.
Until recently it had subsided. But this last weekend, it began twitching so much, and with little provocation, I thought my face was going to contort into some permanent wink-like state. The recurrence has slowed, but the strength of the actual twitch has not. When it happens, I bet the person looking at me might imagine I'm on the verge of Tourrettes. At least it feels that strong, but I guess I don't really think I look like I'm about to snease, I just feel like I look like my cheek is reaching for my nose.
Anway, eye twitches have been linked to exhaustion, stress, dehydration. I think at any given point in a working person's life, they have a bit of all of these at once. So listen to your body. Or your eye. It just might be trying to tell you something.
Side note: I wrote papers on the Eye in both Jr. High and High School. I still have the E encyclopedia I used. Oops!
I'm going to have some more chocolate and then go to bed.
Sweet dreams!
