@Courtney_J My symptoms came on rather suddenly, almost overnight. I thought at first I was having a stroke because you hear about the face drooping when that happens. Then I thought it was stress or fatigue but then when it didn't go away I knew it was something else. I went to my GP who told me to go to an eye doctor. Then there was some back and forth with the GP who finally ordered tests for me. It was awful waiting for the test results.
