Eyecare/ Mental Health : Risperdal -induced Non-stop Persistent Eyelid-twitching - How I Eventually Get It Totally Cured By Acupuncture & Other Medical Details
Note : The following article is only meant as a reference material to the intended recipients and advices should be sought from the medical experts to establish the authenticity of its contents. For your information, I get this sickness while living abroad indirectly from depression (Schizophrenia) through subsequent allergy and overdosage of the related-medications (Risperdal)and I hope that the information given below will be useful to the intended readers.
Non-stop eyelid twitching, which is lately referred to as Blepharospasm or Myokymia is actually a symptom of involuntary and uncontrollable movements in the muscles around a person's eyes which in turn make them appear like 'blinking non-stop' to other people.
Generally, the movements of one's muscle is controlled by the nerves around them that in turn receive signals from the brains which ultimately dictate the variety of 'ways' in which such movements are to be conducted based on a person's will.
The causes of such non-stop eyelid-twitching symptom in most common cases may just due to short-term stress, over-tiredness, over-straining of one's eyes, occasional anxiety, temporary panic fits and nervousness which in turn can be easily relieved and recover naturally by a good rest, more relaxation and trying to calm oneself down to stop getting anxious, panic and worried and stressful over certain things. In this regard, such phenomena tend to be quite common among certain students and other professionals.
However, in the cases of a persistent uncontrollable non-stop twitchings of the eyelids which only get aggravated rather than improved over time and last for months and even years, it may just probably imply that the nerves around the eyes organ are simply not 'properly functionable' enough to bring about the desired movements of the muscles based on the mental instructions from the brains of a person.
Except for any brain and other eye muscle damages/eye muscle disorders caused by permanent lack of certain nutrients and minerals etc or other irritations to that organ like dry eyes, sore eyes, bacteria infections etc, such a chronic eyelid-twitching sickness may likely be caused by certain disturbances and disorders that affect or weaken the functionality of the nerves around the eyes to bring about the desired movements of this organ based on the person's will.
In this regard, the possible reasons of such chronic non-stop eyelid-twitching sickness may probably due to the causes as mentioned above which is experienced by a person over a considerably long period of time rather than just temporarily. Apart from that, other likely causes maybe be certain traumas, especially the emotional ones, allergy to or overdosage of certain medications that carry such side effects as muscle spasms, particularly photophobia in the case of non-stop eyelid-twitching symptom.
In fact, I myself have also been suffering from such a sickness due to allergy and overdosage to such medications like Risperdal and other similar drugs (of which I have stopped taking and replaced with something else so as not to further worsen the non-stop eyelid-twitching problem and to prevent a relapse of that sickness after I get healed). As such, I would very much like to share my own genuine personal experience with you over the course of my treatment of such a sickness and I hope that it will somehow be helpful to a certain extent especially to those who have been having the similar experience as mine and I would to emphasize that it again only is meant as a reference material to anyone reading it.
For your information, I have been suffering from this sickness in the past few years whereby my eyelids also tend to twitch both continuously and uncontrollably without me being able to do anything to control the twitchings at all. As a result, my eyes would seem like blinking all the while to anyone who looks at me and I totally could not drive, look directly and persistently at the pc or tv screens and most of the times, I simply can’t read any books or newspaper properly.
And I have sought lots of medical treatments and advices as well as apply various kinds of eyedrops, taking various types of vitamins, mineral pills as well as many types of anti-muscle spasm medications from lots of eye specialists, neurosurgeons and psychiatrists (who explain the medical theories mentioned above to me), ENT specialists and other general practitioners, and even have the MRI examinations taken to get my eyes cured , but these efforts turn out to be in vain as they fail to yield any positive results and my eyes still keep on blinking non-stop.
Luckily, just about a year after I suffer from such a sickness, I come across an acupuncture expert who studied and observed closely about my problems and then administer a therapy needle on the part of the flesh at the back of the palm which is about 1.5 cm vertically from the point of intersection between my thumb and my forefinger of my right hand (as per thumbnail attached) to strengthen the weakened and sensitive nerves around my eyes. After that, he just ask me to press (using just mild force) onto the surface of that acupuncture point using such objects like toothpick /normal writing pen (which is out of ink of course) or anything with a blunt-pointed end for at least 2 hours a day and then consistently for about 2 months. Having done that persistently based on his order, my non-stop eyelid-twitching that makes my eyes blinking all the while just totally recover in time and I can drive, work with the pc screens, watch tv, movies and read as well as work like any other normal persons.
For your further information, I have also come across quite a couple of people in my real life annoyed by such a non-stop eyelid-twitching problem of different causes and degrees of severity, and accordingly, I just recommend the method as mentioned above to them and within weeks, they just experience significant improvements to their conditions after applying this therapy, and after a few months , they just recover totally from this sickness. . And I hope that by contributing this piece of article to you, it will somehow help you to in at least getting a clue about this sickness.
Lastly, I sincerely wish that the ones troubled by such an annoying non-stop eyelid-twitching sickness can recover finally from their illness. Thank you.

Suggested Acupuncture Cure Mentioned Above For Non-stop Eyelid-twitching - Further Descriptions & Extra Details
Note: The following is only meant as reference materials to the intended readers.
This is meant as a follow-up to give you some additional details about the acupuncture technique I have mentioned to you before. Well, regarding the acupuncture point I have mentioned in my prior articles for the suggested cure for non-stop eyelid-twitching, its exact location is at the back of the palm of one's right hand, which is 1.5 cm measured vertically from the point of intersection (that would appear visibly when the fingers are closed loosely together) between the thumb and the forefinger. (Kindly take note that this point is located at a much 'fleshy' instead of a much 'boney' area - perhaps you would need to briefly explore that part of your right hand at the same time to locate that point, and I hope you will understand that the hand structures of each person differ from one another).
When the acupuncture point is identified and marked accordingly, you can then re-open your hand , and then what you all can do is to sit down, and at the same time press onto the surface of that acupuncture point (using just mild force) with any long blunt-pointed object such as toothpick, a normal writing pen (which is out of ink of course) etc against your chin (suggested for convenience purpose) for a continuous 2 hours, and it's preferably to do that when you are about to go to sleep at night (so that you have more free time to do it). However , if you are eager to find out the very exact location of that particular acupuncture point to further verify the information given above, I would suggest you to seek consultancy from a licensed acupuncturist.
Please be reminded that a good sleep at night throughout the therapy period is essential for the healing to be effectively done. And a person shouldn't associate oneself again with the underlying causes such as over-straining of the eyes, excessive cafeine intake, allergy/overdosage of certain medication (with muscle spasms side effects) that causes this non-stop eyelid-twitching to the particular person in the first place to avoid a relapse of that sickness, especially after getting cured from it.
Please refer to the thumbnail attached to the prior article for a pictorial illustration of that acupuncture point. Thank you.

Eyecare/Mental Health : Risperdal-induced Non-stop Persistent Eyelid-twitching - My Healing Experience (Extra Details)
Note : The following article is only meant as a reference material to the intended recipients and advices should be sought from the medical experts to establish the authenticity of its contents.
About my personal experience of getting totally healed from this non-stop eyelid-twitching sickness, well, in fact I was initially instructed by a psychiatrist to take Risperdal in the first place for the treatment of my Schizophrenia sickness. And having taken this medication for about one year based on his prescribed dosage, my eyelids started to twitch persistently, quite unnoticeable by me at first, but when more and more people began to ask me the reason why I kept on blinking my eyes non-stop to anyone who looked at me, I just started to sense this particular eyelid-twitching symptom but without being aware of its underlying causes at all.
It was only when my eyelids began to twitch non-stop and violently day after day without me being able to do anything to deal with it, I then just referred this problem to my psychiatrist who subsequently told me that he couldn't do anything about it and referred me instead to a the eye doctors, ENT Specialists and neurosurgeons. Having examined my conditions, medical history as well as my diet and the existing medications that I was taking by that time, they all unanimously arrived at the diagnosis that the non-stop eyelid-twitching was definitely and undoubtedly caused by the prolonged intake of Risperdal which actually carried such side effects of muscle spasms especially the ones inflicted on the upper part of the face of a person who took it for a certain period of time.
In fact, by that time, I just accordingly followed the advice of the new psychiatrist and replaced this Risperdal with an alternative medication called Seroquel ,which was actually a second-generation drug that didn't cause that much muscle-spasms side effects. However, even after I had quit taking Risperdal for more than 6 months, the violent non-stop twtichings still persisted. And actually before I decided to seek acupuncture treatment (as recommended by my friends) to deal with this sickness, I did accept the suggestion of a neurosurgeon to take Botox injections to deal with the problematic eyelid-muscles that caused all the non-stop twitchings. Next, the Botox injections, in fact did give positive results in the first place whereby my eyelids just didn't twitch that violently after being given the injections.
However, upon knowing from the neurosurgeon that Botox injections was actually not an effective cure for this non-stop eyelid-twitching sickness, for the very reason that the medications would just serve to sort of 'half-paralyse' the eyelid muscles without being able to do anything curative to the problematic nerves around the twitching eye muscles, coupled with the fact that such Botox medications would tend to get immunized by the human body, it would just mean that larger and larger quantities of such medications would be required for each subsequent injection therapy (which last for 3-6 months each) in order to achieve the similar healing effect of the previous ones.
Besides, it was also actually a very expensive therapy as it would cost me about 5,000 dollars for each injection therapy session and hence, to keep on spending such huge sums of money to stop my eyelids from twitching would just be very unreasonable.
Whilst the neurosurgeon mentioned to me also about a surgical treatment to effectively cure the non-stop eyelid-twitching, the operation, apart from being very costly, was also actually a very risky one as its failure may very well bring blindness to the persons being operated. At the same time, even such surgery were to turn out to be successful, it would also be unable to achieve 100% complete healing to anyone being operated in the sense that the eyelid-twitching conditions can never 'look perfectly normal' like the ones who were totally not troubled by such a sickness at all. So, I just eventually gave up the idea of getting a surgery to treat the sickness.
Being terribly desperate, I just came to the decision of referring my non-stop eyelid-twitching sickness to an acupuncture expert which was recommended to me previously by my friends. Frankly speaking, at first I didn't actually have any faith or confidence in such a needle-based therapy and I hardly believed that these needles alone would be able to get my non-stop eyelid-twiching healed. Next, having received such therapy, my eyelids still twitched violently like before without any improvements.
However, after taking a good sleep at night that particular day after the acupuncture treatment, I just woke up the next day and found that there were lots of dried mucus that stuck around my eyes, and surprisingly, after rubbing away these dried mucus to open up my eyes, my eyelids just don't twitch so violently anymore and immediately I was able to do the simple readings and watch tv as well as work with the PC screen without getting any discomfort. And based on the acupuncturist who dealt with my sickness, that acupuncture point as mentioned in that main article was actually directly interconnected with the bundle of nerves around the eye muslces, and so by administering treatment to it, that will sort of applying some kind of 'reflexology stimulus' to the nerves around the eye-muscles to improve the blood circulation around that area as well as to strengthen these specific nerves and to enable any unwanted metabolism wastes, blockages and toxins accumulated around that eye areas to be effectively purged out of a person's body (through dried mucus around one's eyes) And having applied that therapy on my own as instructed by the acupuncturist, my eyelid-twitching condition just got better and better day after day and within 2 months, the sickness was totally gone whereby my I just appeared to be perfectly normal to anyone who talked to, looked and stared at me until now.
Though the therapy mechanism mentioned above could hardly be scientifially verified and proven by the modern medical science, however, as far as a patient suffering from this sickness is concerned, it is more the very effective cure for such sickness itself rather than all other medical and scientific reasonings that would eventually matter the most to the patients. As such, this is the main reason why I would seek acupuncture treatment as a last resort to deal with my non-stop eyelid-twitching sickness.
And being subsequently encouraged by the dozens of successful cases of those other people in my real life who had been troubled persistently by such non-stop eyelid-twitching sickness and who then eventually got effectively and totally healed in time through the acupuncture technique that I recommended to them, I was thus greatly inspired to post such articles about my very own genuine personal experience of getting totally cured from such a sickness to at least give a clue and some guidelines to the ones who are still being troubled by it so that the similar wonderful thing will happen to them too.

Eyecare/Mental Health : My Subsequent Experience With Seroquel Drug After Quiting Risperdal
Note: Advices from medical expert should be sought to establish the authenticity of the following information which is meant as reference materials for the intended readers.
When I switched from Risperdal to Seroquel for the treatment of my Schizophrenia sickness, apart from enabling me to avoid a relapse of the non-stop eyelid-twitching sickness after I get totally cured from it through acupuncture treatment, it helped me also to a very great extent to enable me to have a very good sleep at night. But when I was at work and hence had to refrain myself from taking such medicine so as not to let its drowsiness effect affect my work performance, I just became quite irritable without any known causes or reasons. And over time, I simply needed such medication to help me sleep at night, and to stop becoming irritable or get angry/frustrated very easily without any reasons.
About one and a half years ago, I was advised by a pyschiatrist that it was possible for a person to quit Seroquel and then lead a very normal life just like other persons. However, it would take a very strong determination and a great deal of emotional as well as counselling /communication support from the other people to achieve that goal.
For the sleeping issue, one would need to cut down the dosage of the Seroquel drug progressively over a reasonable stretch of time, such as starting from 200mg to 100 mg , and then 2-3 weeks later from 100 mg to 50 mg and finally to physically break up the tablet into separate parts to achieve a much lower dosage to finally reduce and then totally quit the intake of such medication for the particular person. However, since a progressively lower intake of Seroquel dosage would definitely cause difficulties of sleeping to the particular persons, he/she would then need to put in certain extra efforts on their own, such as doing some exercise a few hours ago to get oneself tired before sleeping, reading some really boring novels /watching some really boring TV programmes or even listening to some sentimental/ sleep-inducing musics before getting to sleep.
Next, since Seroquel is meant for the treatment of such sicknesses as bipolar disorders, Schizophrenia symptoms etc, it certainly has its own medicational values as an anti-psychotic drug. Hence, to effectively reduce and eventually quit the intake of Seroquel in order to enable a person to stop becoming irritable to it due it its addiction whilst at the same time to prevent the mental sicknesses mentioned above from getting worsened due to decreased intake or eventual quiting of such medication, one would need to reach out more to and have more communications and interactions with the other people around them, especially the close kin to seek more emotional support, increased fellowships and in some cases, get involved in more social/ religious gatherings /indoor/outdoor activities, engage oneself in a hobby/ meaningful activities for each one has deep interest in such as drawing, doing other sports etc, and obtain more conselling advices from the trained counsellors in order to improve the sanity /state of mental condition of the patient.
As far as my own experience is concerned a cheerful and contented attitude to life as well as a balanced approach of living a healthy life are conducive to developing a greater sanity and sounder state of mind for any patients troubled with any mental sickness. And I hope that my suggestions will be useful to you.

Included below are some Q & A sessions between me and another person seeking helps from me for the chronic Blepharospasm and Hemifacial Spasm disorders of her mother living in India. And I hope that the extra information included in the Q & A webpage below will turn out to be useful to you. Thank you.
Original Questions - First Session :

She has been taking medicines for all these years.Now she has used Botox injections for five times within a span of 3 months interval. Relief lasts for only 75 days period and again she needs botox.
Surgical methods are not 100% guaranteed and some websites say the patients lose hearing or eyesight.
Then i tried some acupunture treatments and my mom feels better now.so i surfed the web that can there be a cure by acupuncture and found your website and its information were helpful. now i have some hope in recovering my mom.
Now i would like to clarify certain doubts :
1.Is the backside of the right hand palm the only point to treat or any other points to include.if any please mention it with or without a diagram.
2.How many days of acupuncture treatment needed.
3.Where in the world can i have the best acupuncture treatment.if in india it would be more easier for frequent visits.
4.Is there any diet restrictions that can control the twitching.
5.Can there be 100% cure by acupunture method.
6.Is there any home remedies to control twitching.
The answers to the questions will give us a right move towards the cure.
Thank You.
My Reply :
Well, first of all, when you have mentioned, HFS, I belive that you are actually referring to Hemifacial Spasms.
For your information, what you have described to me are also the most of the things that I have gone through before 5 years back when I was having the medication / Tardive Dyskinesia-induced Hemifacial Spasm - especially the eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking for countless times in a split second when it got worst (and at the same time, my mouth was badly twisted apart from having the twitchings). Besides, among the numerous others who have sought helps from me to deal with their similar eye-related disorders, well, most of the Hemifacial Spasms disorders are actually caused by the neurological and neuromuscular side effects of certain medications.
Well, I have tried Botox as temporary reliefs (3- 6 months' period each) for each therapy session) for my chronic rapid non-stop eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking. However, it's actually not a conclusive solution to the related disorders.
Whilst at the same time, I would also like to inform you and the others that the Botox medications are actually composed mainly of Botulinum toxin which are actually medical derivatives from Clostridium botulinum bacterium (which causes botulism) that have been intentionally abused before for the purpose of chemical warfare owing to its intense toxicity.
In respect of your inquiries, I would gladly like to give you the following details for your further references and clarifications :
Excerpt From The Original Question :
1) Is the backside of the right hand palm the only point to treat or any other points to include.if any please mention it with or without a diagram ?
My Answer :
As to this question, please refer to the diagram below :
Besides, there are also other acupuncture points that are related as well as cures for such eye-related problems. However, most of them are actually situated at the vulnerable parts around one's eyes. And hence, my opinion is that those acupuncture points wouldn't not be that suitable for the purpose of self-administered treatments.
Apart from that, as far as Hemifacial Spasms disorder is concern (which affects the mouths and other parts of one's face etc), by applying blunt-pointed-object-mild-pressings onto that "He Gu" acupuncture point, which is located on the wrist of one's hands (both left and right), it would actually generate a reflexology stimulus around one's entire face (rather than the eyes alone). As such, I believe that it is thus a safe and practical acupuncture point for Hemifacial Spasm disorders, especially the chronic uncontrollable non-stop eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking. And in particular, for self-administered treatments.
Excerpt From The Original Question :
2) How many days of acupuncture treatment needed ?
My Answer :
Well, that would depend on how serious is the Hemifacial Spasm disorders of your mother, especially the rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking problems, as well as how long she has suffered from it right from the very beginning. As such, please refer to the detailed descriptions of the self-administered needleless free-of-charge acupuncture / technique / cure for non-stop persistent rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking as included below : -
Honestly speaking, I obtained tremendous reliefs on the very next day after the acupuncture treatment (my abnormal eyelid-twitchings / eye-blinkings stopped completely). Whilst for the far less serious cases (non-Tardive Dyskinesia cases), most of them would just experience the effects within hours after applying that acupuncture technique. Whilst for the really and extremely serious ones, (the ones who have been suffering really chronically from such disorders for many years, eg. nine years - please refer to the original question above) , it would usually take 5 - 10 days for them to obtain the desired reliefs from that acupuncture technique in the very first place, and then, one would need to continue applying that acupuncture technique consistently and daily (for weeks / a few months' time) in order to get fully-cured once-and-for-all in the end..
Excerpt From The Original Question :
3) Where in the world can i have the best acupuncture treatment.if in india it would be more easier for frequent visits ?
My Answer :
As a matter of fact, for some reasons my skins are extremely sensitive to the conventional prolonged needle-piercing therapy of acupuncture. And since that therapy is not that suitable for me, the acupuncturist attending to me is kind enough to impart to me a simple needleless acupuncture method (without using needles at all) to enable me to deal with my Hemifacial spasms / rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking problems.
And well, since the acupuncture technique can be praciticed on one's own, it's thus a free-of-charge cure. So, given that I'm a part-time social worker working for the health cares of others, i thus feel that it's a part of my vocations to recommend this self-administered needleless acupuncture technique to the ones who need it.
As such, please refer to the story behind the suggested self-administered acupuncture technique for abnormally rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking described above
Besides, there are in fact many people all around the world seeking helps from me through emails ever since the beginning of 2008 for their chronic eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking problems, especially the medication-induced ones. Frankly speaking, for those areas like the ones in middle-east, and unfortunately India and the countries surrounding it, there are hardly any acupuncture clinics / treatments available (based on what they have told me). And so, I hope that the self-administered acupuncture technique will be helpful to your mother in totally solving her problems once and for all, just like the numerous others who have totally recovered once-and-for-all from such chronic disorders.
Excerpt From The Original Question :
4) Is there any diet restrictions that can control the twitching ?
My Answer :
Well, there are certainly causes that lead to such muscle twitchings. They could be due to the neurological / neuromuscular side effects of certain medications, excessive caffeine intakes, overstraining of the eyes etc. Naturally, it would be in the best interest of the ones suffering from such disorders to make a clean break with the causes leading to such disorders. However, in the case of medication / Tardive Dyskinesia-induced chronic eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking, a switch to the better and more advanced medications with far lesser Tardive Dyskinesia / Hemifacial Spasms side effects would be quite an option (given that one may still need the related medications to deal with the other related disorders, and in my case, I switch from Risperdal to Seroquel after getting completely cured from the Hemifacial Spasm / chronic rapid non-stop eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking disorders).
Excerpt From The Original Question :
5) Can there be 100% cure by acupunture method ?
My Answer :
Actually, in the case of me and the numerous others who get totally cured once-and-for-all for those disorders through the self-administered acupuncture technique, we have taken MRI, CT-Scannings and other related medical examinations before. And these medical examinations actually show nothing abnormal at all.
And in fact, for the medication / Tardive-dyskinesia induced hemifacial spasms / rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking, currently there are no medical examinations that would be able to conclusively and definitely detect and diagnose the interferrences of medications onto the synaptic activities of the neurotransmitter chemicals / neurons that are widely distributed in our miscellaneous bodily nervous systems to the point of muscle spasm / neuromuscular disorders .
So, my comment is that, if your mother's medical scenario actually falls into the category that I have described above, well, then I believe that there is quite a good chance that she will get fully recovered once and for all from her disorders through applying that suggested self-administered, free-of-charge, needlleless acupuncture technique consistently and daily.
Excerpt From The Original Question :
6) Is there any home remedies to control twitching ?
My Answer :
Well, that is actually not to my knowledge.
Whilst the logic behind the self-administered needleless acupuncture cure is such that, well, since the related muscle-twitchings are caused by certain "contaminating agents", such as the undesirable remnants of certain medications that antagonize the normal functionings of the neurotransmitter chemicals (especially dopamine which is responsible for all the human body physical movements), then, getting rid of them from the related nerves around the twitching muscles (eyes / facial muscles) through the acupuncture treatment is thus the most direct and effective way of dealing with such neuromuscular / muscle-twitching disorders and to stop the related muscle twitchings.
Original Questions - Second Session :
First of all i would like to thank you for your answers.I found your problem being more severe than my mom and really glad that you are fully recovered.
The information was very useful.
some of the doubts my dad wants to clarify :
1.As you had twitching a countless times in a split second,its more serious than my mothers case,how many days or months did it take to recover completely.This would help me to calculate the recovering time for my mom.
2.Even after cure are you still continuing the acupuncture treatment these days.
Thank you.
My Reply :
Thanks for the feedbacks.
As such, I hope that my replies as follows will clear your doubts about the questions you have asked.
Excerpt From The Original Question :
1) As you had twitching a countless times in a split second,its more serious than my mothers case,how many days or months did it take to recover completely ?
My Answer :
Well, actually I suffered from such chronic rapid uncontrollable eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking and other Hemifacial Spasms symptoms (from the Tardive Dyskinesia side effects of certain medications) for about more than one year. And eventually when I was instructed with that self-administered needleless acupuncture technique as a cure for all these neurological / neuromuscular disorders, it actually took me about 2 months' time exercising that acupuncture technique consistently and daily (in my case, 2 continuous hours / day) to enable me to get totally cured once-and-for-all in the end.
Remark From The Original Person - Please refer to the Original Question Above :
This would help me to calculate the recovering time for my mom
My Reply :
Honestly speaking, out of so many people seeking helps from me for their similar related disorders of different degrees of severities , well, for the mild and short-term cases (less than 6 months), some of them would totally recover once-and-for-all within weeks. Whilst for the really serious ones, especially those suffering from the like-disorders for many years (eg.nine years as mentioned in the paragraph above), it would certainly take about a few months' time applying that acupuncture technique consistently and daily for a final, complete and once-and-for-all recovery to be achieved in the end.
All in all, that would actually depend on the healing progress of the individual people suffering from such disorders. In this regard, based on my personal experience as well as the feedbacks I have received from the ones seeking helps from me, it's such that once that self-administered needleless acupuncture technique is proven to be effective for them in the very first place, exercising them subsequently and consistently would then just serve the next-steps and the other purposes of reducing the muscle twitchings progressively (in terms of the really serious cases), to just prevent the related muscle-twitchings from coming back after the curative effects have taken place for the very first time (just like what me and some othes have experieced), and then, to get such disorders gradually and totally cured (in a realistic and practical way - please refer to my preceding post above) once and for all in the end.
Excerpt From The Original Question :
2) Even after cure are you still continuing the acupuncture treatment these days ?
My Answer :
For your information, for me and the numerous others who have been suffering from the similar disorders, we would not need to exercise that acupuncture technique anymore once we are totally cured once and for all from them.
As for my case, I no longer need to exercise that acupuncture technique anymore after I have achieved full and once-and-for-all recovery for the disorders ever since 5 years back. And well, the reasoning behind this is that, there is no relapse at all of such disorders at all ever since I get totally cured once and for all, and given that my pair of eyes are just as normal and healthy as and to any other people (I mean for anyone I meet), I simply need not do anything for those disorders / symptoms that have disappeared completely.
Lastly, I would wish a speedy and full recovery for your mother's like-disorders and good luck.
