Permanent droopy eye?

Does anyone else seem to have a droopy eye on the side of the CH? In the last 2 months or so, I think my eye has drooped a little bit from the crushing pain of the CH.
My other eye is bugged (the opposite of droopy) because of another condition I have. With 1 droopy eye and one bug eye, I look like the local serial killer. 
Anyone else have a droopy eye on the cluster side?
Thanks
Brian

Yea, I have droopy eye on ch side, too. I had it since the headaches began, that's one sympton that made me check myself into the hospital, thought I was having a stroke. It seems to be common, but not always present. I have chronic clusters. My eye was always a little bugged out, now after TN surgery, it tracks a little different than the right eye. My wife says she doesn't notice, but I see it when I look in the mirror. I see fine. As long as I can see, I'm cool with it. Keep us updated, will help when possible. Have a painfree day!!!

Yup. I get my CH on the left side (always have). About two years ago I was looking at pictures of myself and noticed that my left eye is just a tad bit droopy. You don't notice unless your up close and really looking but it's there (the droop). Also get that f&cked up twitch in the same eye (upper left eye lid) every other year for about a week or three.

My left eye has had a permanent droop since I became chronic in '96; it gets more pronounced when I get an attack.

My left eyelid (H/A side) has a minor droop all the time. It's more pronounced when I'm in cycle.
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Interesting...since the only person I've ever met with this droopy-eye syndrome is Riccardo in Italy and I've met a LOT of people from here over the years too.
There are pics of him at the Vancouver and Atlanta convention and it is quite noticeable.

Read through this article:
http://www.revoptom.com/handbook/sect6g.htm
"Common causes of post-ganglionic Horner's syndrome include trauma, cluster migraine headache and neck or thyroid surgery."
And yes, I have the droopy eyelid on my CH side. I wear glasses, and they help to hide it though...

I've had the droopy eye also for 25 years. Quite noticable in pictures. I don't usually see it just looking in a mirror. Definately gets worse during a cycle. Seems like all of that pain just leaves it scrunched down afterwords.
