Members reassured someone experiencing persistent eye twitching that muscle twitches, including in the eyes, are a common symptom of fibromyalgia, often linked to fatigue and stress. Several members recommended getting an eye exam to rule out other causes like needing glasses or dryness, while sharing their own experiences with twitches in various muscles including the eyes, jaw, chin, and cheeks. A recurring theme was the frustration of constantly learning new symptoms, the challenge of managing rest when others depend on you, and the solidarity of knowing others share these unusual and often maddening experiences.

Hi, I agree with @A MyFibroTeam Member get an eye test just to be on the safe side. However my eye twitches some days more than others. It did only start doing it in April after being diagnosed. A group I'm with on Facebook were discussing yesterday how twitches were a part of fibromyalgia and there were many with eye twitches , chin twitches, cheek twitches x
