: Eyes: Eye wide open - Eye wide shut ;-)

[Guest guest]

:

It's way pass my bed time, but wanted to answer this before I go. Fred has

the dry eyes, he had those about two years before he was DX with the MSA. He

had contact for years and no problem, but then one year he got them and he

couldn't wear them, he took them back to the eye doctor and he gave Fred a

different set, but these were also the same way. The next year he went to a

different eye doctor and he told Fred he could'nt wear the contacts anymore

because he had dry eyes. He get's moist eye drops to help with this. The

other thing that you asked about was the eye shut. Fred has had this off and

on for the last few months. His right eye will be closed, but the left will

stay open. Also on the right side his mouth will look like it's pulled down ,

when the left side is alright. As the MSA seems to progress , his getting

more things wrong that we see. So your not the only one that has the Eyes

wide open or wide shut.

Take Care

THANKS VERA. I APPRECIATE YOUR DROPPING ME A POST IN RESPONSE TO

THIS SITUATION. WE ALL GET LAUGHS OUT OF IT, BUT... I JUST WANTED

TO SEE IF I WAS ALONE ON THIS ONE. I WAS AT A MEETING TODAY WHERE I

MENTIONED ABOUT MY HEAD BOBBING AND HAVING THE EYE OPEN THING WHEN

SLEEPING, AND I JOKED ON HOW THIS COULD LOOK REAL GOOD FOR SERMONS -

AS IT WOULD LOOK LIKE I WAS PAYING ATTENTION - AND AGREEING.

IT GOT SOME LAUGHS, WHICH IS MUCH MORE WHAT I WANT WHEN I'M AROUND

OTHERS THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

HAVEN'T ACTUALLY FALLEN ASLEEP DURING A SERMON LATELY. BUT HAVE DONE

SO WHEN DONNALEE WAS TALKING TO ME. ONE TIME, WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING,

SHE PULLED OVER AND I WOKE UP. THAT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE FIRST

TIMES SHE NOTICED I WAS DOING IT.

THANKS AGAIN FOR POSTING WHEN YOU WERE TIRED. I REALLY APPRECIATE

YOUR INPUT (AND THAT OF EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS FORUM).

SINCERELY,

PAUL
