Title: Muscle contraction
Post by: Sharon on March 31, 2018, 03:42:27 PM
I decided to test out a theory I have about my tears simply not draining from the lacrimal gland to my eyes since I get swelling around my lacrimal glands as the day progresses and my eyes get drier.

This is what I found:
When I repeatedly sqeeze near the corners of my eyes in an attempt to simulate
musle contractions in the lacrimal gland area I actually get tears and the swelling in the gland
resolves itself for awhile.

What does this mean?  ??? ??? ???
Are my muscles just weak (despite testing for MG returning negative)?

Any thoughts would be appreciated!
