Hi I am from India, I am 24 years old, and working as a Software Engineer, around 3.5 years back there was some twitching in my right eye area and I ignored it thinking that it may be because of work pressure and tension, but over the time it became more frequent and finally I visited a doctor 2 years back, i was diagonsed with Hemi facial spasm, and the doc recommended botox injection

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The hemi facial spasm that you are having is likely to be due to a neurological cause. If the oral muscle relaxants are not helping you then it is best to get local botox injections for relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
