I saw the opthalmologist this morning. MRI results show no masses or signs of brain disease rather the lower eye muscles are in enlarged. As a result I cannot raise my eyes to a normal position. Likely cause, thyroid disease. I will begin a 28 day course of prednisone to hopefully reduce the inflammation. If that works I may be a candidate for a new medication to prevent a recurrence. The more worrisome thing is I seem to have developed glaucoma. After a brief improvement the pressure in my eyes was again as high as before I started treatment. I will be using two additional eye drops 3× a day in an effort to get things under control. Follow up in two weeks, a new sort of birthday celebration, hopefully one with good news.
