permanently droopy eye

Hi, after a brutal CH cycle three years ago I developed a permanently droopy left eye. I know this can happen but has anyone here experienced the same thing?

Yes, I've had a droopy eye on cluster side for many years even when out of cycle. Several years between  cycles, and still slight droop though not as prominant as in years past. I notice it in photos still. Going on about six years since last cycle. Maybe the cluster headaches are gone for good, and the droop will continue to un-droop.

Best wishes, Rich

A lot of cluster articles or related ones I've been reading say outright or suggest that this is a side-effect of ch for some people. Here's two of the links:

My right eyelid (clusterside) got so bad it was drooped almost constantly, affecting my vision big time. I was sent to a specialist (one of the best around) and he performed his laser eyelid surgery but did both eyelids as the left was becoming droopy also. That was Dec. 16, 2004 and all is good to this day.

The surgeon did not believe they were caused by me having CH's, but who knows for sure.

yep left eye lid (cluster side) droops slightly all the time and gets worse every time I have a kip 9 or 10.  Most people dont notice it unless they see pictures that are 10 years old or so. Smiley
