Title: Is this normal??
Post by LindsayLoo on Jun 11^th, 2007, 1:21am

My cluster eye (right) is ALOT more droopy and redder than normal. Oh, and my right ear (inside) really aches.

I haven't had a major cluster today, just some bad shadows but my eye usually only droops, reddens and tears when I get to about a K6.

I'm worried about what is to come. Is this normal?? I don't know enough about my partial Horner's Syndrome to know if it is.

Thanks,
Lindz

Lindsay in my experience that IS normal!

If you think about it with all the dilation and constriction of those poor blood vessels it's no wonder they decide to have an off day every once in a while! When I've had a lot of activity my eye can stay looking droopier for days at a time - noticeable to me at any rate.

I hope this sets your mind at ease a little

Howzit

The same thing happens to me quite often and I also get earache regularly, I've had it checked enough times now to know that its a spin off of the CH. Maybe you should have it checked though to make sure, you really don't need extra misery to add to the load you already have.

Cheers,
