So wonderful to see you post. I'm glad that you are feeling better these days, but it does look like you need to have a talk with your left eye and tell it to get with the program. It needs to rests on it's own time!
All kidding aside, I hope this doesn't mean you are going into something. I know about the droopy eye thing myself. I have the same left eye issue. I've always wondered if it had to do with cranial nerves, because I would get the tingles on the left side, along with the droopy eyelid. On several occasions, I got a deviation in the left eye, along with an abnormal pupil response to light.
Just face it, we are both weird!

I was so happy to see that little thumbnail picture of you I exclaimed out loud. I'm glad you've been feeling so well, and hope the droopy face and tingles are the only symptoms you get and that they go away soon.
I have left-sided trigeminal neuralgia that just flared up yesterday, talking about cranial nerves. My lyrica and tegretol pretty much take care of it, but I may end up loopy instead of droopy!
I'm kinda weird myself. :o)
Hugs,

Hey, you weirdos! Nice to hear back from you. I miss so many here!
I suppose I should have said that I'd been feeling really good for the last month or so....I still have the 'episodes' that come and go every 3 months or so. Usually these are episodes of extreme fatigue and limb weakness. Of course I get the tingling, numbness and vertigo (yuck!), but my face has only drooped a couple of times before now.
It's unusual to have the droopiness, tingling and not much else. I just woke up from a nap, and have very strong tingling. It woke me up, in fact; almost painful.
We are a weird trio, aren't we? I hope the both of you are hanging in there and that you are, for the most part, doing well. So glad to hear from you!! I could almost squeal myself!!
Take care,
Zilla*
Welcome back!
My droopiness is usually on the right - hubby noticed my drooping right eye fourteen years ago.
I'm liking this cold weather - I've spent several months without going into a flare, or even having a pseudo-flare.
Hi Zil, it is so good to see you here. You always light up the place when you stop through. One of these days you are going to come and tell us the answers have been found for you, I just know its going to happen.
don't be a stranger, ok?

Hi I am new here but I wanted to ask you if the numbness ever felt like a helmet around your scalp? I have constant numbness and burning of the scalp!! Anyone else? It remains me of the band around my abdomen, feels soooo very weird...I just started taking Lioresal for the tightness around the abdomen, I guess in known by the MS Hug!!. I have not been diagnosed yet. DX Probable MS. Hope you start feeling better soon. Light and Love Elie
Hey, Stinky, Always good to see you here and hope that you stay.
For all - Momsie here was once held up before her congregation by the pastor and praised for her strength through medical adversity. She came on here grumbling that, not only did she have fatigue and weakness, plus a family and work to contend with, but "Now she had to serve as a "stinking example!" Gotta love her.
I hope this is not your regular 3 month neurologic meltdown. Make sure your doc sees and documents the new droopiness. I still pray that someone will grow some and diagnose what is standing in front of them - or that you would just grow some lesions. I'd give you one of mine, but I can't do without a third of my lesions. :(( We're seeing too many people getting their diagnosis yanked away for lack of one thing or another. Mind you, they're not being given any diagnosis in place, just losing what they had in terms of an explanation for a nervous system gone wonky and something to treat.
Stay around and show the newbies how it is done!
Luv ya!
