Edit
I have had blepharospasm for 7 years along with a whole host of other psychiatric disorders and brain fog/confusion for most of my life, Im 46 now. It has essentially gotten worse each year until very recently. I would say my Bleph symptoms have diminished by 70%. Belpharospasm has completely taken me out so I totally understand the fear. The fear is palpable, it increases my anxiety 10 fold when I have a bout of bad bleph. I have had zero help from my psychiatrist or several general practitioners. They just dont know what to do.

Here is what has helped me.
Intensive focus on general health with an emphasis on the brain, the endocrine system and metablolism.
1. I eat low carb/keto diet (prescribed for epiliptics since the 1920's) generally it is purported that the brain runs better on ketones than glucose.

2. I practice intermittent fasting and Im working up to regular periods of prolonged fasting. Think detoxifying the brain and body.

3. Regular sauna for neuroplasticity and whole body/brain detoxification.

4. Excercise. I started this for general health but the science supports why its good for the brain and nervous system and for sleep.

5. Decrease or eliminate caffeine. So sad but for me it's necessary.


I can't say enough about how much it has benefited me. Note: this is not an easy diet plan to follow but it's doable. There are thousands of podcasts and videos on the subject. Changing your metabolism will have an effect of a cascade of events in your body that will have pretty profound results.

My results thus far are as follows.

-Less depression and anxiety
-lower blood pressure, i dropped two blood pressure medications.
-better sleep (still not great)

Check out all the videos on Keto. Trust me on this one, it will help.
