Unhappy My eyes will not open!!!!


Hey guys another seizure question for ya'll. As some of you may know, I have pseudoseizures and partial complex seizures. This evening I had one of them (not sure which one) and it seemed typical. UNTIL I COULDN'T OPEN MY EYES! I could not at all what so ever open my eyes!! My husband helped me by doing some "follow my finger" things and I couldn't even follow the it. It was like my eyes shut down. I took a short nap and nothing made it better. 4 hours later I can do little snake like slits to type this and called my doctor. He said to sleep it off (he was a little rough, but it is a little late here) and call in the morning if I still have problems. Anyone else having something like this? Is it normal? He thinks it might have been a muscle spasm. Also anyone know of any good PENS (pseudosiezure specialist) doctors in Texas or anywhere? My doctor is not known in this area... help please?!

Try having your husband massage the area around your eyes and eye socket to see if that helps. Since it's both eyes, your doctor's right in assuming that it's most likely to be a spasm of one of the cranial nerves.
