I'm on meds, Keppra and Dilantin, and I have little stints of time where my left eye twitches/shakes for like 20 seconds at a time like 20 times a day...this will happen for a week or two and then stop for a month. I think it is E but impacted by a hormone cycle--I used to have it a lot when I was a kid but never thought anything about it...just got diagnosed w/T/C's in September after seizure #2 & 3.

Now I'm really wondering..that same thing happens to me! My left eye will twitch like mad, just fluttering for no apparent reason, for a couple of days and then it's gone. A few weeks later, it happens again. It bugs the heck out of me! I've never even thought that it might be related to my TLE. I'll have to look into that.
