Default Closing Eyes

Lately, last couple of days, my left eyelid is lower than the right one...I never had 'droopy' eyelids before....This is a new one...
Funny, I had never heard of this problem until it was brought up on this thread. What I found in the mg book when I looked it up said exactly the same thing as you here are saying. The author of the book describes problems in keeping the eyes closed in the shower and washing hair, of not being able to close one eye while leaving the other open while taking photographs, and of patients having difficulties completely closing their eyes during sleep and having irritated eyes upon awakening.

I haven't had any of these problems (yet - knock on virtual wood ). I'm glad you all were able to connect and be reassured that it wasn't just you!
