Default question about eye

Tyson,
I feel for you on this one. My eye bothered me terribly too and took a long time to get better. I started on 40 mg of pred and it made no difference in my eye at all but Once he upped it to 60 mg it went away and only comes back for a few minutes here and there when I am really tired. I am down to 10 mg and so far it is still doing good. It made me terribly self conscience and I am in my 40's so I have no doubt that is incredibly hard for a teenager. Do you have times when it gets better and then worse again or is it constantly the same and has never changed at all? Since you're on 80 mg of pred that is higher than I was but I know everyone is different. Have you talked to your neuro about it? I know some people have been able to get rid of the droopy lid with just Mestinon, I wasn't one of them. It took high doses of pred to do it. I can tell you once I started at 60 mg the droopiness was gone within 48 hours. I was soooo happy!!! I hope in time they can find a dose that will work for you.
