twitching anyone?

Can anyone tell me if they experience head or face twitching with their Chiari?  I'm having a lot of twitching near my temples, very annoying.

Hi, yes, me too.  Most bothersome the last week & a half, my right upper eyelid has been twitching.  I get the feeling like something is on my upper left lip and right nostril (not twitching) but, still, it feels like something's there.  I've had random twitches little areas on my thighs & hip area too.  (But, as Carolyn says, it doesn't hurt!)

Selma, when you say it disturbs your vision, does it seem hazy to you at times?

Definitely...I get them all over my face..lips, nose, eyes, scalp..you name it. I also get twitches all over my body too. Yes, it is very annoying but I am just happy that for the most part it's painless (unlike the muscle spasms).
