Does anyone else have this as a symptom?
I'm in my mid-20s and I've had CFS for about 10 years, so this seems to be an unusual symptom.
This started around 6 weeks ago as part of a mini-relapse (my energy usually goes up and down anyway due to energy demands studying Science part time at university and sometimes I actually have to go to lectures..).
My eyelids have previously felt sore after more than usual activity and been very saggy (but normal people get that when they've had very little sleep for a few days too).
The problem is that the saggyness has become permanent, regardless of how much I rest (two week midterm break, 12h/day sleep) and on the left side of my face, the top eye lid sags over the corner of my eye and is visibly raised to a point below my eye. This is quite normal for east Asian populations of course. But I'm not east Asian and it looks a bit odd just being on one side of my face, spoiling my otherwise good looks. I wouldn't mind so much if it was symmetrical.
In non Asian populations it is usually associated with various congenital genetic diseases which clearly don't apply.
