Hi,
If you are in the Nashville, TN area then, I would recommend the neurology service at Vanderbilt Medical Center and I would ask to see either a general neurologist or a movement disorder specialist. Without more description of your problem I cannot be sure but it sounds like you either suffer from some type of Tic disorder or dyskinesia such as blepharospasms, facial dystonia, or other muscle cramping due to metabolic or hormonal causes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi
