my neuro-ophtalmologist gave me lytears, because she said that myathenic patients never blink enough and that is why their eyes tend to be dry.

the SFEMG done on the occular muscles is as far as I know, is based on the muscles that close the eyes, not the ones that open them.

Hey Blusky,

Yeah! I definately have the problem with not being able to close one eye. Sometimes I attempt to wink after making a joke, and I feel like a basket case because I can't do it properly...Kinda ruins the joke...lol

Eyes rolling around/cannot focus
 

On Nov. 19th I was sitting by myself at work and it felt just like a curtain was going down from the top of my forehead just past my eyes. My eyes started to jitter around in my head ... rolling sideways, backward and so on. I had to close my eyes as I could not see. I was fully concious during this episode. It lasted about 2 minutes. I was fine when it passed. On the 9th of Dec. I was sitting in bed and the same thing ... curtain dropping etc. and likewise, after about 2 min. this incident passed.

I am a cancer patient, stage 4, and am taking Arimadex. I was thinking this might be the cause. I am not going to rush off to the Dr. as I just cannot face all the tests that this might entail. Just curious if anyone has ever heard of this or been thru this before.

I have had the problem where after I sneeze, or wink/blink my eye is stays extra droopy afterwards and doesn't open as fast.. and when my symptoms exacerbate I must have incomplete closure, especially at night too..
Veronika- curtain closing sensation with your eyes can be a sign of other problems too, if it's not your actual eyelid closing that appears like the curtain- . retina problems I believe (can't remember exactly).. unless your talking about your actual eyelid closing, I would mention it to your dr.. but I can imagine your sick of testing/dr's appointments, however it might be as simple as seeing an opthamologist for one visit?
