I just remembered a time when every time I smiled my right eye would close most of the way - like I was winking. It may be completely unrelated but maybe the flutters will change (back) into the "wink". It was a big hit at the time... : )
Good to know. Thanks for all your informative posts. I should be seeing neuro in next month or two about falling issue. I hope I remember the new spasms in face and legs.
Have a great weekend.
There is motor dystonia, and then there are "focal dystonias", like writer's cramp, curling toes and blepharospasm. They are very different degrees of a similar problem. Blepharospasm can be a simple as a fluttering eyelid and is still a focal dystonia.

Thanks for the info. I just looked at dystonia on u-tube and don't have anything that dramatic. I hope it doesn't get to that point.
Something with the spasms with mouth is that the other day I had trouble when smiling. Mouth would trember at corner(s - can't remember if left also) when starting and stopping smile...
Hi I have Blespharospam around my right eye. I have been told it is to do witha malfunction in the basal Ganglia as Bob has stated. It is considered to be a form of dystonia.
I have had it constantly for about 20 months although there have been a number of different feeling witth in that time including cold patches around the nose, constant pulling sensation, I have a problem maintaining a constant eye say while driving or watching television, and feel like I have a lump on my head. It sometimes affects my tongue and lips but this comes and goes. 11 months ago I started to have botulium injections every 8 weeks around the eye, with some success.
Ishould meantion I'm not Dx with MS, but t the neurologist agrees my problems are neurological. I have also been Dx with dystonia in my foot and arm. Which apparently is unsual to have it in more than one place.
I hope this info is useful.

Spasms in the muscles around the eye (blepharospasm) are pretty common in MS and other neurologic diseases/injuries. I seem to remember reading some place that many of these blepharospasm are thought arise from a dysfunction in the basal ganglia.
