Thank you everyone for the replies. It helps to know if what I am feeling even makes sense. Sometimes it seems so weird that I don't even know if it is worth mentioning or worrying about.

I will be sure to let the doc know about the jaw fatigue. I'm supposed to call him if I notice any worsening of symptoms between appointments. Just had to know if this was even something to be concerned about.

I have given up chewing anything that takes much effort. Gave up gum ages ago. Just not worth it.

I agree that I probably have ptosis but it was not noticeable to the doc during the exam. I think that I have noticed it at home when I am especiallly fatigued but it is not really to the point where others notice. When I ask my hubby he just looks at me and says "possibly".

Thanks again to everyone. Your knowledge is invaluable.

Shannon
