Agree. This is physical exhaustion manifesting. Get some sleep!

PTO. This is really common with stress and lack of sleep... take some time to recharge. If you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of anyone else.

This happened to me once. Doctor told me to put a metal spoon in the fridge and then hold it lightly against my eye for a few minutes. It relaxes the muscle and interrupts the spasm

Sleep and stress; but taking magnesium supplements may help (it did for me)

Chocolate. Scientific evidence. Or magnesium.

Happens to me when I don’t get enough sleep. Just sleep.

I can’t believe how many people this has happened to!

For me, it’s always been caused by stress. Unless you have some rare medical disorder, I suspect that’s what it is. If this is the first time that it’s happened to you, identify what’s been changing over the past few months to a year, and address the source. Maybe it’s needing more sleep, maybe it’s the client, could be anything

Sleep and stress. Happens to me too

Multivitamins and sleep!

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

I am working hard to stop the progression of disease and potentially reverse it. Hope things work out.

Stress is causing a massive flare-up of racing thoughts recently. I feel like it's been at least a week or two since I last was able to completely clear my mind. And if it's not random stream-of-consciousness mess, it's music. Ever had a song stuck in your head? Because I've had one for four days now. Driving me nuts. Anyone else struggle with this/have a solution?
