Update on my MG test results

I wrote a few weeks back regarding swollen eyelids and not being able to open eyelids plus I have had double vision for 2 years been under optomology since May last year the blood test came back negative but they are now referring me to a Nuerologist as they said the test isn't 100 per cent. All they can offer me at the moment is Botox for the double vision which I have turned down as i feel eyelids that don't open won't be helped by botox! I'm now either going private or wait to see someone at Moorfields

See someone at Moorfields. I think they have more expertise. Some Moorfield Clinics in Hospitals have walk-in centres.

Hi Shaws, it's 65 days for an appointment at Moorfields I have waited this long under optomology at my local hospital I need to see nuero optomologist so I will stick it out for Moorfields. I very much doubt me seeing a neurologist at the same hospital will be of any use I didn't think you could just go to Moorfields walk in centres as I've been under a hospital I'm asking for referral to Moorfields

As you've had no help locally, definitely Moorfields is the place. It is a pity it's such a long waiting list for you. My husband had a painful eye and local nurse in the local Walk-in Centre couldn't see anything and told him to go along to Moorfields Dept in the local hospital. It was the first time I knew that they had clinics elsewhere. Anyway the doctor saw him and removed something from his eye and husband was relieved.

I hope they are also able to solve your problem as it does sound quite painful and disabling. Anything aggravating eyes we want prompt attention.
