Facial muscle spasms

Every time I come down with some weird new symptom, I can usually attribute it to Graves.  However,  I am having under the eye spasms that are quite noticable, also a pulling type tic (spasm) of my lower lip.  I have off and on pain on my ear going down into neck but not ear infection.  My face also feels weird sometimes like I've had novacaine.  My GP thought I might be getting Bells Palsy but I'm not sure.  At any rate, I was wondering if anyone knows if these symptoms are associated with Graves Disease?

Thanks

Thanks for your post. I take Methamezole for Hyperthyroidism.  I have been on it for over 5 years now and haven't had these particular problems before.  I posted again asking if anyone had ever heard of Graves Disease leading to Myasthenia Gravis.  I do have an appointment at the end of this month with a neurologist.  But if you think to ask your endo, about it great.

I have the same symptoms . Not all the time . On and off. Espesially  the facial muscule spasms. I  had Thyca and had my TT 1 year ago. I also have low TSH (0.02). I started to get these spasms 3 weeks after start taking Lexapro . I could not take it anymore . espes, the tic of my right eye.So, I stopped taking Lexapro. But I still have these symtoms.Maybe it is from Lexapro or from low TSH. I'll ask my endo next week about that and let you know. Good luck.
