  • QUESTION: Facial Tics
    Over the last six months or so, I have experienced multiple facial tics. First, it was my left eye that would twitch, at least once a week. Now, it happens almost daily and my upper lip has started twitching as well. I don't have a family history of tics, but I have an uncle with MS, and my mother has fibromyalgia. Should I seek medical advice, and if so, from whom? What could cause this other than stress?
