I have had an eye twitch in my left eyelid for over 5 months. It happened right after a chiropractic adjustment.

I have been to acupuncturists, eye doctor, chiro and have tried everything but the twitch hasn’t gone away. Eye doctor did many tests and my left eye is dry and so I’m taking fish oil. I also have the anti glare on my glasses which has helped. I’m taking magnesium supplements as well. I do not have any other neurological symptoms. Blood work was OK. Tried tonic water. My eye gets REALLY agitated with caffeine so I’ve eliminated that. It’s been really stressful. Should I try Botox on that eyelid?
