Summary
A Reddit user developed persistent left eyelid twitching right after recovering from COVID about 18 months earlier. A round of botox months back calmed the twitching but has since worn off. An MRI showed an expanded blood vessel pressing on a nerve connected to facial muscles, and their neurologist said they would have to live with it. They also had body twitching for years after an earlier virus.
