Ptosis (drooping eyelid) caused by Hypothyroidism

[Lester123]

I had surgical procedure to correct my drooping eyelids about 5 years ago. Sadly the left eyelid has drooped again and is covering half my eye. My doctor is uninterested and has dismissed doing anything to correct it saying it’s caused by me being under or over medicated with my thyroid medication. Once again I constantly feel tired caused by not being able to see property out of my eye. Has anyone else suffered with this because of their thyroid problems?

Pregnenalone has facelift properties it is said. I think it helps thyroid work better.

It is a hormone but classed as a nutritional supplement so we can buy it in the UK.

Usual sizes are 50mg, but you might want to see how a lower dose works out. See if you can buy 25mg size tablets or do it alternate days.

It tends to work really well at first and so something usually happens positively, same with many things really. But people then decide to try more or don't build in a break and you can then end up over dosed.

So make sure you go steady with it and if you see any negative reactions (anxiety can happen can be an issue on to much even though it also makes people feel calmer at first). So if you were to use it quite often build in breaks from it. I think an alternate day strategy is the best.
