Ok, so for 4 months now I've had a slightly drooping left eyelid. Sometimes it doesn't even droop, but it always feels like it's drooping, like the muscles are weak around the eyelid. I've had slight blurred vision out of that eye on a couple of days but I wear soft contacts and sometimes I just get that anyway.
The other week I mentioned it to my GP and he's given me a blood test for MG, but the results are taking ages and he said it could take another month.
With MG, apparently the eyelid gets worse as the day progresses, but with me, it is worse when I first get up - especially if I've had alcohol the night before.
Googling it doesn't give me any benign explanations, according to Dr Google it could be from injury to the nerve (no), an aneurysm, a brain tumour, an eye tumour or MG.
I have always had problems on that side of my face, nosebleeds on that side, headaches are invariably on that side and when my nose gets blocked that side is worst affected.
So naturally my health anxiety is screaming impending stroke at me, and I face a wait until maybe after Xmas til my GP can discount MG and explore another avenue.
Has anyone had this, and if so what did it turn out to be? If it was something nasty, I don't want to know!!!!!!!!!
Thanks.
