Very unusual ocular symptom?
Hi all,
Looking for a little help, as I’m at the end of my tether and completely lost.
In February of this year, I developed extreme dry eye and a few weeks later I noticed I couldn’t keep my eyelids shut. I can blink normally, have no obvious ptosis but when I close my eyes, after 5-6 seconds they will slowly start to drift fully open again. I can squeeze my eyes shut tightly, but the muscles fatigue after 30 seconds and my eyes drift open.
This has meant that for 6 months, I’ve had to use surgical tape to close my eyes at night. Both an ophthalmologist and a neurologist are stumped and can’t explain it.
The neurologist is leaning towards MG due to suspected orbicularis** **oculi fatigue. I have no issues making facial expressions etc. And I don’t present any of the gold-standard MG symptoms.
Has anybody here any experience with this odd symptom? Or could possibly suggest absolutely any input at all? Any guidance is much appreciated.
