time, but 20 times a day x 15 sec? my right eyelid started twiching about 2 weeks ago, and has progressively been getting worse. Now it's like my eyelid feels paralyzed for about 15-20 seconds and about 50 times a day. any ideas?

See a doctor now!!!!!
This might not be serious, or it may be.
Your doctor will probably immediately refer you to a neurologist. GO!
This may be a twitch, it may be due to tiredness. It may be due to a brain aneurysm or a partial stroke. You need a professional to analyze it and tell you where on the spectrum of seriousness you are.

Get there now!
