Re: Drooping eyelids
Bruce Anderson wrote: Has anyone else out there had a problem with drooping eyelids, double vision, inability to look at people at short range, actual difficulty opening the eyelids? This is a symptom, partially, of one of the PD +'s, but my neuro doesn't even want me to think about that now. He's sending me to a neuro ophthalmologist for botox injections. Any insight on this symptom would be appreciated. Thanks, B. Bruce Anderson (52, 49, 48) >> Schooley's Mtn., NJ >> bbanderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx In October 1995 my husband, Steve (79/1) had a "Revision of Upper Eyelid/Repair eyelid defect" because his eyelids were drooping so much that they were obscuring his vision. The surgery was performed by Dr. Jay Older in Tampa Florida. Although this was 2 years before official diagnosis, I think Steve was showing some signs of PD back then. Ellen Peck
