I had the twitching pre surgery - thought it was due to fatigue.  It is AN related

me too, thought it was fatigue but its the tumour on the facial nerve.  I still get it, especially when I'm tired and stressed.

Thinking about eyelid twitching, I had UPPER eyelid twitching on the AN side pre-surgery number 1. It was years before the surgery but I know now that I already had the tumor.

It's referred to as a "blepharism" and yes, I get them quite often. Especially during and after an episode of conjunctivitis.
