Eye brows (or that general area) droop anyone? and How do you go to the densits?

Hello all,

I would say that in the past 8 months, I have noticed that my skin between my eyebrows and eyelids has drooped. Not my eye lids, they seem to be fine. However, I am genetically predisposed to somewhat of having heavier brow area, but, lately, I have been getting so miffed that I need to continually clean my glasses as my brow area keeps hitting my lens. Same glasses for the last 3 years, so its not because of new glasses. I was dx in late July with late stage Lyme, with the rest of my issues and test results to come this Dec. 2nd.

Is this something anyone has dealt with, or am I just starting to sag and age? I thought I had read somewhere that this issue can be lyme related. I don't see myself as having Bells Palsy, however, on rare occasion, I will drool out of nowhere. Curios to see if anyone else has this issue or has heard of this.

On to my next dilemma.......the dreaded dentist, I used to be a twice per year dentist visit, teeth cleaning person albeit I have extremely sensitive teeth. Always have. However, ever since being dx with Lyme and actually a few months prior to that, my teeth are super sensitive,. So much to the fact that I can not even fathom a hygienist to touch my teeth with anything metal. It will send me through the roof! I have all I can do to floss and brush my teeth daily without scolding myself for causing pain and discomfort.

Well, I have a couple of teeth acting up, over an above the usual sensitivities, and I know I need to get into the dentist. Anyone have this issue or any advice on how to go about this? I also am aware that having dental work done while being treated for Lyme is a touchy subject. I do know I will never ever have a root canal. They will pull that sucker before I have one of those. I have several crowns in my mouth, and those are about all I can handle. I have hated the dentist since childhood, and still to this day swear I would birth my 10+ pound baby girl again any day than go to the dentist.

I just cant get past the idea of them touching my teeth without me causing them bodily harm lol. Thanks for your input all!

To tie me over, I am applying Cloves essential oils to my overly sensitive teeth areas, and it does give me some relief, however, I know there is something more going on that needs to be addressed

I have the same problem with drooping skin above eyelid, one eye worse then other. I have my first appt with llmd in 3 weeks, im going to ask about it. I also have alot of tearing and heaviness in both eyes. This just started a couoke weeks ago. My daughter works for eye dr and said it doesnt actually look like the lid is drooping just skin above it. I look like im stoned all the time. Hoping it goes away with treatment

Thank you to both of you!

Kay1063, let me know how you turn out, as I too have one more prominent than the other, and I don't go see my LLMD until the first part of Dec. I have been on treatment for Lyme since August of this year, yet it seems to be getting little worse versus getting better. You made me chuckle with the stoned comment. When I look in the mirror, I keep wondering if I will ever be able to wear eye makeup (color) ever again, and that part of my eye is hidden under the flap.

Pretty soon, I am going to look like the Sam the Sheepdog on the Roadrunner cartoon. Gotta keep some humor in order to keep my sanity. :D


Take care all.

I wish you the best, Charliebug. Make sure they understand that this is VERY real for you and that you only wish to be able to make it through a cleaning.

I'm glad you are going to give them a call to see what can be worked out to help you get through this!!

While one of my eyebrows sort of sits a tiny bit differently from the other naturally (made sure to confirm by looking at some old high school photos), I had this pretty bad, like a year ago. Actually, the whole right side of my face was starting to. It was very slight, but noticeable to me. It was the cause of so much stress for me. I'd sit and obsess over it, try exercising my face muscles, to get it to feel "right." Terrible stuff. It's bad enough feeling ugly on the inside, at least let me look like a few steps above a walking butthole on the outside, you know?

Now, though I kind of implied that it's gone, I'm nowhere near better, even worse in a lot of ways. Treatment worked for awhile, got rid of a few things. But, I'm sure it'll be along shortly, once it gets bored of hanging out wherever it is now, if I don't get some sort of treatment figured out that's gonna work.

Honestly, I'll get these pulling sensations in my face, twitching, fluttering, at times, so.. probably on the verge.

I drool sometimes too, when my mind's occupied, which is an easy thing for stuff to do to it these days.

The teeth issues, haven't had any of those.. yet.

Hope you get/are getting the treatment you need, friend.
