Dear Vera,

I think Fred and I are a lot alike in the category. It is so hard to

find what that point is when you are used to going and going and

going. I use to be called the Ever Ready Bunny. I was telling my

sister I just don't know when to stop. My family gets on to me about

doing to much. They know me well. If I quit when my body hurt I

wouldn't start. I am always in pain. I take methadone, neurotin, and

muscle relaxers and still I have pain. It is worse though if I don't

take it. I feel like I can't go on anymore when I don't take it. They

up the medicines but they don't seem to help. I wanted to ask also.

Does anyone have a problem with one of their eyelids closing on it's

on? My left eye will just close and I don't always realize that it is

closed. I try to pay more attention to it though because I know it is

putting undue stress on my right eye. I just have to figure out also

somehow when to stop and I will eventually.

Love and gentle hugs,

Belinda

Your left eye problem sounds like Horners Syndrome, a disruption of the sympathetic nerve to the eye, have you noticed any difference in pupil size between the two eyes?
