I was reading some old posts- the cricket is on and Im feigning interest to keep the peace!

I read Erin that your face froze, I was wondering if I tell you my symptoms when mine did it if you could tell me if yours was like that? Does that make sense? sorry if it doesn't Im shattered and I should really be in bed doing this not sat on the recliner!

On Monday 1st of June I was doing my usual, pushing myself to the limit cleaning and messing about. It was very hot hottest day of the year so far.

My face felt funny, stiff like it wasn't moving properly. I tried to whistle couldn't make the shape with my mouth, tried to smile made a face that would scare small children! Over the next four hours my face became frozen. The corners of my mouth turned down and I had to talk through gritted teeth. I went to hospital where they did b***er all. After 12 hours it wore off. In those 12 hours all I did was lie still on a bed, no talking, no watching tv or listening to the radio. Did yours do something similar?

Thanks
Rach:p

sometime my eyes twitch so much that i know that people cant see it but i cant stand it - i also find that when i take a picture and even if i am smiling it always looks as if i am sad - i find when i sleep or even wear sunglasses in the house so my eyes are not so sensitive it feels a little better

Hi ss822!
 
Hi ss822! Have you been dx'ed with MG? It sounds like your face may be freezing up as well! I look @ old pics b/4 my dx - and I always looked upset -even though I was happy! It crept up on me so slowly that I wasn't even able to realize it until I wasn't able to kiss my son or hubby! :(

Ice packs are great for when your eyes need a break. They help quite a bit!

When you have some time, I'd love to hear more about your MG!

Erin:D
