Yes, Barb, I also couldn’t look up. That’s why my doctor recommended
the Botox injections. The lower eye muscles were constricted due to
fluid/tissue build-up in them from the Graves’. He used the Botox
to relax the lower muscles, so the upper eye muscles could stretch them
back out. I suffered much worse double vision for about three months,
and as the Botox wore off, my eye movement was much greater.
I sure do know what you mean about not being able to look up. It really
hurt! Driving was a nightmare–couldn’t look up to see the rear-view
mirror. Talking to people standing up when I was sitting was impossible.
I’m lucky to have a doctor who understands how this eye disease works.
Good luck with your treatment.
