Hi, I was just wandering how you are doing after your surgery? I too have been told I need eye lid surgery, which frightens me. Was just hoping you might be able to pass on some advice. Laura.
I’m With You
It does get better. It has been 6 months since I had the upper eyelid done. It is coming along. It feels tight and I can't open it very wide...but no numbness and swelling only if I am really tired. My family said it is looking more natural. WEll next week I hope is my last eye surgery.
Hug
how you feeling? hope you had a nice weekend... ;)

Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
Was married to a verbal abuser for nearly 10 years. He was only ever diagnosed with depression, but believe he is bi-polar. He is very defensive & paranoid, with a short-violent temper. After 10 years of marriage, and him trying to convince me it was normal to vent, aka scream at me, slam doors, curse me out, humiliate & belittle me...I chose to divorce him.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionJust went through a divorce, after 9-1/2 years of marriage. He was a unstable, neurotic abuser. Now, seems I'm having trouble coping now that he's out of the house, ironically. So I've been depressed.
Treatments
- Effexor Considering
- Doctor has given me samples to try, after I wean off of the Lexapro. I am unsure about starting this med.
- Lexapro Not Working
- Have taken for a month...have not seen any improvement, at all. Very tired, and just want to sleep all the time. Now weaning off it.
