fibro

[katiedidit]

does any one else experience being unable to open your eyes occasionally. with fibro?  It doesn't happen, alot but no matter how I try I can't open my eyelids.  It usually last about 30-40 min.  I just have to lay down and wait for it to pass.

  It' not that I can't open my eyes, first thing in the morning, with my bedside light turned on so that I can find my glasses and turn the alarm off I feel totally blind!! The bright light from my lamp actually blinds me for several minutes. I even put a 40 watt bulb in the lamp and it's still too bright. I have to wear my sunshades almost all the time due to the light sensitivity.

I haven't had this sort of problem and haven't heard of anyone with fibro who has.  Have you been seen by an opthamologist/optometrist?  It sounds like a neurological symptom, but it's best to have this checked by a professional.  Please take care.
