Directing Digital Mystery Game Directing a Digital Mystery Game

Highlights Only
Repeat after me. People are not symmetrical. My right nostril is twice the size of my left. It's normal. Ask any doctor.The time to worry about asymmetry is when your close family members say, "yo what happened to your face?!"Once a couple years ago I noticed my uvula was hanging to the right. Googled it and found that can be a sign of nerve damage. Found out later that 25% of healthy people have that too.Seriously, stop freaking out. To anyone but a fellow health anxiety sufferer you would sound pretty silly with the symptoms you're talking about. Your chances of getting a nerve disorder at 17 are 0.
 
Nobody's eyelids are the same you know; could it be that you just kept looking for trouble until you found it? Since you are so young you'd better get used to being imperfect as we rarely get 'more perfect' as we age. You have really got to stop diagnosing yourself, even most people with medical degrees know that this is folly. Anybody at any time could focus on some small aberration in themselves and then become convinced that it is fatally significant. If none of this works for you then do some eye exercises: here's Paul McCartney in a not very good demonstration of them. If these do not show you that your eyes are still working at least there's a chance they will improve your vision (very good for astigmatism).
 
i dont know guys, im sure my eyes got worse over the last few days... im dreading the morning, im so scared i will wake up with it barely open :(i have considered if its like this from fixating on it so much, but, i dont think it would be constanti can see fine, i can move my eyes fine, and eyelids i can also still do a mexican wave with my eyebrows! (always been my party trick lol) but i dont think these areas would be affected so quickly anyway, so theyre pointless haha
 
I don't know what you think you have, but I know what you actually have--health anxiety!!! It's ok, though. Lots of us do. I am a bit of an old timer and am feeling extremely confident that you are fine. Concentrate on your holiday. Quit looking in the mirror. Check in with us when you need to. Take care!
 
Cenkay,I am sorry to hear you are having a bad day, or days. I myself am in the midst of a huge relapse in anxiety because of this syndrome, which I have been dealing with for seven years. It does get better, but there will be bumps along the way.Ptosis involves drooping of the upper eyelid. Is this what you are seeing? Like others have already said, none of us are perfectly symmetrical and there is a possibility that you are over analyzing. I have unequal pupils and I totally freaked out about that early on. Was convinced it had to be MS, I mean it is a symptom. MRA and MRI ruled out anything sinister and I had to come to the realization that perhaps they had always been that way and I was just now taking notice because of my obsession with studying every feature of my body, looking for something sinister. I think many of us become hyperaware of everything that goes on in our bodies. Breathe deep and enjoy your holiday.Sean
 
I thought I had bad health anxiety but cenkay and invisible twitches takes the cake! sorry couldnt resist. Both you guys are fine!
 
Cenkay- absorb the truth in what the others have said. Nobody is perfectly symmetrical and I've worried about it same as you. I have an eyelid that seems to droop a bit mire than the other. Looking in the mirror it almost appears that one eye is smaller bc of the droop. It is subtle and nobody has ever mentioned noticing it but its clear as day to me. Take a deep breath. You will notice lots of stuff like this in ur lifetime so better get used to it.
 
When I wake up of a morning one of my eyelids is lower than the other, I have a dent in my left hand and not one in the right, I have a dent in my right ankle that looks SCARY AS CRAP TO ME! I also have health anxiety, BFS, and all the same fears that you have. I almost killed myself several times in the begaining of this as well, key there is Almost, but I did not. I have 2 boys and a wonderfull wife that God blessed me with so I chose to stick around a while longer. I'm sure you have somebody, A mom, Dad, a girlfriend, or all of the above that love you, and you need to stick around for them. Time does make things better, but I will be 100% truthfull with you, my fears still catch up to me at times. But were not in a wheel chair, or bed ridden so we are still blessed. I'll pray for you to by the way, thats not me sharing my fear with you, but my faith. I'm not praying for you not to have a disease, I'm just praying for you to realize you don't.....God Bless
 
Your age and the eyelids symptoms..could be MG, which is perfectly treatable. Its very rarely associated with twitching (but it is when treated).
 
Cenkay, MG symptoms are usually weakness that gest better after resting and worse in the evening, often bulbar weakness but as you said, its not life disabling, if its treated, the life quality does not differ virtually, there is no disability except for mild fatique. Some people do report twitching with MG while neuros say its not possible as its not nerve disease.
 
cenkay, I honestly think you do not have even MG. I am not sure about your question, MG definitely does not shorten your life, its controlled by medication. Muscular dystrophies are hereditary and do not manifest with fasciculations generally. Do not worry, the eyelid "problem" may be pretty well caused by tired and swelling eyelids as you probably spend a lot of time on the PC.
 
TwitchyMD, are you sure you're a doctor? No offense but I can't believe a doctor would literally say, "could be MG" to a known hypochondriac in the throws of panic inducing health anxiety.Come on - seriously? Then you say you think it's definitely not MG in later post. What was the point of the "could be MG" post then?Cenkay, here is your list of worries today:1. Get a haircutThat's all. Have a nice trip.
 
juliacristina2 and abbitBouncyBunny, do you at least know what MG is? I doubt so, its nothing scary nowadays. And Cenkay did ask what it COULD be..Cenkay, please could you tell in a public whether I helped you or scared? It seems that this board is starting to be place for "always positive no matter the facts" stuff.. Randy, if you read my post, you would notice that I said exactly what you have described, that MG is not usually associated with twitching until its treated.
 
I am sorry but Cenkay asked me what it could be? So I answered with all the facts - that MG does not usually include twitching, that it does include weakness etc...and in the end I did tell I thought he had just tired eyelid due to overuse because of being too much on PC.So please read carefully and do not confuse scaring with answering if someone is asking, especially if there is nothing scary on MG. And as far as I know, COULD in english express possibility, nothing more.
 
SUZIEEEEEEEQQQQQQQQ !!!!!!!!! (I love her) :D) I hope he doesnt mind me saying, but I skyped with Cenkay yesterday morning when he left me a message on facebook that he was very concerned with his eyelid. When I looked at his eyes, you could barely and I mean barely see a smidge more of his eyelid on his right eye then the left, but it was exceptionally minimal. I had him raise his eyebrows, open and close his eyes, grimace his face, squint his eyes, and open his eyes as fully as he could, and he could do ALL of this with no problem what so ever....He is even remarkably talented enough to do the mexican eye brow dance with his eye brows :LOL: It was quite entertaining I assure you :D) TD, I never saw anywhere...where Cenkay asked you for a possible diagnosis. I saw him ask everyone for reassurance, and thats what he was given....then you step in throwing your medical info around, and gave him a nice nasti to dwell on while he is on holiday with his family.....how kind of you :unsure: You know a good 3/4 of the people on here have some real issues with health anxiety,...yet you dont hesitate for a second to throw your medical verbage around on the board. I dont think you are a doctor, I dont even really know if you are a medical student, but one thing I do know....if you are a medical student..then I truly feel sorry for your future patients.I'm still so happy to see SuzieQ posting,, I will attempt to do Cart wheels in your honor today Sue :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: Take careRobynn :D)
 
Vegas!!!! I'm so jealous rite now....I can absolutely handle doing a pole dance, happen to have a pole rite here..I shall flip and hang upside down just for you Sue :LOL: Thanks for making an appearance...so nice to see you here :D)
 
Hi cenkay, please don't worry about your eye it seriously sounds like nothing, have you been diagnosed with health anxiety? I have and I tell you apart from the twitches and bfs I can pretty much work myself up into believing I have everything...I'm not saying that you have HA by it sounds like you do...I know I'm a newbie on here but I have battled with anxiety and HA for years even before I got bfs....so please don't stress no body is symmetrical one eye always looks different to another, I'm sure you are ok....best wishes shannon :)
 
Mommylondon I just wanted to say hi I read all your posts and u helped me thru some tough days...just wanted to say thank you to you....hugs from shannon :D)
