Hi Agirlandhertort1,
Your description of the burning pain - "like I sandpapered my skin and poured alcohol on it" - is really good, despite how bad it really is - many of us know...

Is it just your eye that droops, or the whole side of your face? Have you had a rash of any kind? I have heard that Lyme Disease can cause facial drooping. There is a forum for that here on NT.

A friend of mine once got Bell's Palsy, which caused the entire one side of his face to drop. This was temporary, and he recovered fully within a few months.

...Just a couple of things (possible starting points/things to eliminate) to ask your new doc about (and FWIW, I think changing docs was the right move).

Doc
