I used to call them "the crawlies". Take care 🙂

Thanks. It’s just crazy because it will happen at random times throughout the day causing a nuisance to me. It will spasm for a few seconds then stop then happen again either minutes later, hours later.

Yes, facial spasms are something people with MS can experience! MS-related nerve damage can disrupt normal muscle contractions, causing muscles to spasm or jerk in various parts of the body — including the face.

A MyMSTeam member once shared experiencing spasms affecting one side of the face, so you're definitely not alone in this. There are a couple of MS-related conditions that could be connected to what's being felt around the nose and face:
- Trigeminal Neuralgia — MS can damage the trigeminal nerve, which branches throughout the forehead and sides of the face. This can cause sharp, stabbing, or electric shock-like sensations and even spasms on one side of the face.
- Nerve Pain (Neuropathic Pain) — MS-related nerve damage can cause unusual sensations, including twitching or spasms, and these can occur on just one side of the face.
It's always worth mentioning new or changing symptoms to a neurologist, especially if the spasms are becoming more frequent or painful. They can help figure out what's going on and explore treatment options. 😊
