hemifacial spasms


by: Jane on Wed, Apr 02 2008

I have been treated for dry eye syndrome since last August (2007). My left eye has always been worse. I saw an ENT specialist to see I had sinus problems. That was negative. I can no longer open my eye and the left side of my face twitches and becomes distorted. It’s ugly, embarrassing and tiring. I have now been referred to a Neurologist.

I’m hoping that someone can find out what’s wrong with me and effective treatment can start. I think I need to know that I’m not alone. I am also scared that it could be psychosomatic. It started when we had to have our dog put to sleep. I found this dreadfully upsetting but circumstances conspired to ensure that I couldn’t cry when I needed to. I’ve cried since but my eyes are no better.
