I looked it up years ago because I was like "what is going on?!". I've since told many people about it when they are wondering about their eyelid twitching, I let them know it's probably stress related. For me it usually lasts for hours and is so distracting - it's all I can focus on.
Thanks for posting, Naomi. It calms my wife a bit when she hears a real life story about someone who suffers from them. Hers also started in her eyelids I believe, then just spread. And any use of her muscles makes them get even more intense. I hope that yours will never get like this. I believe that the number one place that they are seen are in the eyelids and they usually don't advance from there. Have a great day. RM

Thanks for posting, SD.,
I have that pinkie thing myself. Its like it gets a mind of its own. Its probably of no consequence. I know that some people who have essential tremor begin with those pinky movements. Even some with Parkinson's begin that way. Michael J Fox says that he was working on a movie in 1991 when he started having movement in one of his pinky fingers. Good thing that his case is probably the exception and not the rule. I think that finger tremors are probably a benign thing in the vast majority of people who have them. I only say this because I have observed countless people who have them and nothing has even come of it. In any event, have a nice day. RM
