I did the botox injections for about 6-8 months back in 01/02. It did not help at all. Only time has made it better. Later, my MIL got blephrospasms, and they are nothing like what I have...and the botox worked for her. Usually, Blephro's are only in one eye. Mine sx are in both. I don't have the 'twitching' that is characteristic of blephro's...I have forced shutting, blinking and squinting. Definately nerve related.

I have had several MRI's and I have lesions, but not where you inquire. I have never heard that blephrospams are associated to MS, but I'll check your link out...

My Optho/Neuro I saw again last year, and he took that dx away and has me listed as possible MS since I also have vertigo, numbness and cognitive issues (different attacks thru the last 8 years) which are not related to the blephro's. I think he's on to something...but MS has a way of hiding out for some people.


PS: Please list all the tests you've done and the result. MRI? LP? BLOOD? OTHERS?
