I also suffer from dropping eyelids but I'm also always very exhausted all the time and it feels like I'm never going to get my energy back not to mention I also suffer from graves disease which I have now been told I have thyroid eye disease it just keeps adding more and more on the plate that already is over loaded another thing HAS ANYONE have up and down weight issues? One minute I have to eat lots of calories and then few years go by and I go back up right now I am up to164 lbs and I was119pounds two years ago I must have every size clothes from3 to 20 I am afraid to get rid of any thing as far as clothes go, does anyone else deal with this issue besides all the regular business that unfortunately comes with this fxxktablous disease . I'm all but20years into this crazy situation and it's moving faster through my body I have been fortunate that my husband of36years is understanding the shit show we live in and I think somedays I'm ready to quit!!! But I am not the type of person that could be selfish and drop out of the race but if I was I would have punched my ticket in it is like being a prisoner in your own body. Sincerely stacia just keep swimming just keep swimming just like dory says in NEMO bless you all and keep fighting love you all my MS family xoxo😔

I’m so glad my people are discussing this problem, the droopy eyelids was how I was diagnosed with this horrible MS. That was 19ish years ago, well lucky me it’s happening again, the last time I couldn’t keep my eyes closed, now I can’t keep them open. I have to find a great neuro-ophthalmologist, it takes six months to get an appointment 😢
