When I am feeling weaker, like when my meds run out, my lower lip is very slack and protrudes and hangs down, showing my lower teeth and gums. I can smile, but it is very twitchy and an effort. My eyelids nearly cover my eyes and my cheeks sag down. When I try to look at anything, I have deep furrows in my brow. Mostly this happens late in the day, but stressors, like being sick can bring it on too. I have probably said this before, but when I look in the mirror, I look like the sad faced theatrical symbol and I don't even recognize myself.
I had this late yesterday evening before going to bed, but this morning everything is back in place.
Hope you feel better soon!
