Your developments almost sound like little strokes.  Maybe they are spasms.  What do you take for them?  Baclofen?  Lyrica?  ??
That's actually one of the things I'm most afraid of. I don't know if this falls within the parameters of little strokes or not. I haven't been taking anything for these or muscle spasms of any kind -- I'd rather not deal with any side effects. If I know that's all this is, I'm fine and would rather get by without medication (unless it gets too bad and impedes everyday life). It's the concern that there might be something else going on in my brain that bothers me. I've got a doctor's appt. at the end of the month and am trying to decide if I need to try to get in before that.
 
Someone else mentioned the possibility of aging. My husband and I are both 49 and are experiencing the effects of gravity on our faces as well as everything else. :-) But that's more of a gradual thing, not episodes lasting a couple of minutes.
 
Someone else mentioned GN and myasthenia gravis. Both of those were ruled out when TM first hit 10 years ago, but I suppose it's possible that they could develop in the mean time.
