Title: Horner's syndrome.....
Post by thomas on Feb 18^th, 2004, 12:58pm

I've had it long before I had ch. I know not everone gets it. But, of those that do, do you also get it in the non-ch side?

Hello once again.

Yes I do. The strange thing is my attacks are on the rhs but during a cycle I got a burst vain at the end of the lhs eye which has never gone away. And just below the eye too. But as for the drooping it is very prominent on the lhs and have had it on the rhs in cycle.

Hope that helps

DEBBY

My eye only droops on the side I'm having the HA on. Always on the right. It usually returns to normal after a cycle of 2-3 months. If it was particularly brutal, it takes a bit longer to return to normal and not notice it. I have my HA's under control with meds right now, but I can tell when I would be having one, and the drooping eye still occurs even though the intense pain is not present.

Not that I have ever noticed...

Not that I've noticed, but then again, I never noticed it on you...

Of course I am thus far able to treat almost all my CH immediately so maybe not going through the process as often has something to do with it??

Scientific research only........... this is a BAD picture of me, but a good example of Horner's syndrome.

I have Horner’s on my left side.
I was a right sider only for years then changed to a lefty. Now i'm back to my right.
The Horner’s in only on my left regardless. Ch will make it worse. If i’m sick form a cold, hangover, tired it will also make my Horner’s worse. Just FYI.

Man just like me. Horner's on left, ch on right, Horner's presents on right; before, during and after ch. Tired, drunk, hung over, makes it worse.

Thomas, a bit of divergence, finally.

Horner's only on CH side and only during attacks with some residual that goes away in a few hours max.

During the peak of an attack I can't open my left eye at all.
