Guest guest Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 My eye problems have never been dramatic, but even so, I spent about a year prior to diagnosis with everyone at work constantly saying " don't worry so much! " when I was feeling totally calm, it used to drive me nuts as I would be sitting down feeling at ease and peaceful and people would read my face wrong. Some people thought I was on speed all the time. It's annoying to be misread, but I do sympathise as I know that I rely on people's body and facial language to interpret what they are really feeling as much as(if not more than!) the next person. I found that discrepency between what I was feeling and what my face was expressing, quite isolating and hard to deal with, especially prior to finding out what was wrong. Now I know what's happening I can see the hesitation in people when they are experiencing confusion between what I am saying and what my face (eyes) might appear to be indicating! Sometimes I try and explain, most of the time I just squint a bit and that seems to make my eyes look more normal!

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2002 Report Share Posted February 26, 2002 Patti, I have the furrow too from squinting so much....my eyes are extremely light sensitive. I finally started wearing a mysterious smile so I don't look grumpy. Some people call me " Sunshine " because of this, but others probably think I'm nuts. It works on my family though and that's what's important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2002 Report Share Posted February 26, 2002 Nice was to put it! Sometimes the squinting doesn't help though when you are already frowning because your brain is not processing those double images very well. My advisor used to say she wanted me to call when I was leaving campus so she could leave an hour later. She didn't want to be on the same highway as me. Just aim for somewhere between the four lines.............. Thank goodness that's over! Mostly.
