Grace it is incurable. Was told the abilify I took several years ago was what caused it. Theres a medicine called Ingrezzza that stops spasms when taken if you stop med its right back. It's $6400. a month and insurance wont cover. Next is botox every 3 months into muscles for rest of your life, I was told just for my upper facial it would take 8 around each eye and my lids would droop. Then there would be many other places. I have not taken yet and scared to. My neurologist and primary know this. If and when it starts getting worse I will make decision then.

No but my right lower eye lid has been twitching uncontrollably for 2 1/2 years and driving me crazy.

Yes, I do. At the same time I got what's called Essential Tremors (Parkinson's -like symptoms). They are controlling the shakes but not the TD. They have told me that the TD by now is going to be chronic so I don't know what they are going to do about it, if anything yet.
