Cause For Droopy Bottom Eyelid, Slurry Speech, Hair Thinning With Continuous Stress?
I have had recent slurring of my speech. For years, I have not had a good sense of smell and taste (since antibiotic use with pneumonia many years ago). Recent thinning of hair (approximately one year).Right bottom eyelid slightly droopy (over two years) making it difficult to remove semi-permeable gas contact lenses. Under a lot of stress over the last four years, resulting in giving up my home in bankruptcy and subsequently living with boyfriend in financial and emotionally abusive relationship. Total burnout. Return to work in last couple of weeks as home health occupational therapist. What could be wrong?

Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
You seem to be suffering from a neurological disorder, such as, bulbar palsy, demyelinating disease of the spine or any other related condition.
You need urgent evaluation, including MRI of brain and Brainstem + other relevant investigations as deemed necessary.
Consult your Neurologist and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable/modified treatment as advised.
If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.
Take care
