My current neuro said that he could see how someone could think that weak muscle in your legs and arms could be psychosomatic. Breathing issues could be the same. But not the ptosis. Especially if it is worse in one eye.

But even if I try, I can't figure out how to make one eyelid sag severely while the other one stays up. You just can't fake that.

I really enjoyed reading ´My Imaginary Illness´.

A book I stumbled upon on Facebook may also be of interest to some:
