We ALL understand what you are saying and feeling I don't get the drooping eye {I am lucky there} but my double vision gets so bad that I gag, and the more I try to "straighten" it out the worse it becomes and the angrier "I" become. I have had this DXed for 18 years now so I guess I am mostly immune to people not understanding. My husband still gets me upset when I see him roll his eyes or stick something in front of my face to read and my eyes go crazy because they can't "focus" on cue, I have to slowly turn and focus. As I have said before, if you had a cast then they would say oh, I understand, but since people can't see the illness and never heard of it they can't understand it. At least WE are all here for each other, so please never feel bad for posting your feelings here, I think we are the only ones we can honestly turn to and support.
