Is There Any Connection Between Eye Twitching And Addison's Disease?

Hi, I am 27 years old, have addison's disease (have been treated for the last 4 years with dexamethasone and florinef) and am gluten intolerant. I have had an eye twitch for the last three months in my right eye. I started taking birth control at the time it started. Is it possible they are connected?

additions disease is chronic adrenal deficiency. it is deficiency of cortisone. so dexamethasone is the only treatment. eye twitching is blepharospasm. it is a tics and neurological problem. stress is related to it. no treatment is known. stress can be managed wait it will go by itself. it is not linked to birth control pil.
