Can't keep eyes open but I am not tired!

[cherry0505]

for about 6 months, I started having difficulty keeping my right eye open and was squinted so badly and holding my eye open to try and drive. I went to several eye specialist and now I have a neurologists who takes care of my migraines but he thinks that have sleep apena. I am not tired and I do sleep to where I have no trouble sleeping> I just can't keep my eyes open and I have to make noises with my mouth or sing loudly to keep my eyes from shutting all the way down especially when I am driving.. I even walk and talk at work and home with my eyes completely shut. I am very scared of wrecking or hurting myself. I already hit my head by running into the corner of a walll. I even ran into a woman walking with my eyes shut. What is going on?? I don't think I have Benign Essential B.. eye problem either. spasms of the lids?!?? the eye told me!! Something is wrong. but what?

I'm 25 and had problem with my eyes for 5 years now. My eyelids feel tired all the time, i want to close them. And that is actually the only thing that helps (resting a lot with closed eyes).The worst is looking at computer or driving. I also noticed that its easier for me to look down. If i have to be active during a day, my forhead musces really struggle to keep my eyes open and sooner or later, i experience pain (headache). Doctors say i am fine, family thinks i am making this up, cannot work full time job.

Hi, just reading through these posts and you describe exactly what I have, it's driving me mad. Did you ever find a cure or remedy or are you still suffering?
Thanks

That sound fabulous, Is it still working to take the applecider vinegar? Please help. My right eye just wants to close all the time. Sincerely, Nina Capps

You need to go to a neurologist that specializes in movement disorders.  I have the same thing and it is called Meige Syndrome. You have spasms in the eyelids and there are other issues.  I was put on a medication that can help people with convulsions (a low dose) and three days into the medication, I feel better than I have for 6 months.
Hang in there, it will get better

I am glad to find that I'm not alone, that there are others that have the same  problem as I do. I am 40 years old just turned this past september. For me this problem started a month ago, and is getting worse. I can't keep my eyes from closing and my eyes are extremely sensitive to all types of light even my cell phone is too bright. My right eye is always watery and because I am struggling to keep my eyes open constantly and the light hurting them I not get massive migraine headaches. Please can anyone tell me what I can't do to fix this problem. I can't take it anymore. Thank you.

I have started to have this for a while now, I do not even know when it started really but I think it was when I was doing building work and maybe the dust etc got into my eyes..? I have seen the doctor, pharmacy and optician. None of them have an answer apart from eye drops which have proved to be not that helpful really. The thing is, I also have big headaches on my left side behind my eye. Has there been anyone who can provide an answer? Would be very grateful
