Horner's & T1 & connecting dots!!!!

Post by Kathleen »

So many people have said they have headaches and other problems.

Now I wonder was it worth it for me find out I had Horner's.... LOL.... I have denied for 60 years that I am disabled now I know it my arm does not work properly.
I never heard of Horner's until I began to read posts here and started to investigate. Then when I questioned my doctors they said - Yes but it is resolved... what does that mean? Does it mean my eyelid is not a bit dropy? My eye grew? And can anyone tell me what beauty marks behind the eye means?
I asked and it means pigment clusters.... so what is that?
On one of the other posts some of you asked about T1 and Horner's... I found this paragraph on the web....
just thought I would copy it and post it...
Anyone have any answers on what pigment clusters are?

Notice the reference to headaches... how about all the pneumonia and bronchial problems... And what is with the throid? hmmm. Everytime I think I found some answers I have more questions???? anyone else? Ever since I began my research on "Erb's Palsy" I feel like I am playing a connect the DOT GAME.............
Except usually you know how many dots in the game...

"Causes of Horner's Syndrome
(Canada--Canadian Family Physician, July 1998, pp. 1453, 1462.) Classic Horner's syndrome consists of ipsilateral ptosis (drooping eyelid), miosis (constricted pupil) and anhidrosis (inability to sweat). The syndrome may be caused by any disruption of the sympathetic innervation of the eye and so may result from a variety of benign or serious conditions. First-order sympathetic fibers arise from the posterolateral hypothalamus and synapse at the C8 to T2 level (Budge's center). Lesions at this level are usually serious, with causes including stroke or tumor. Second-order neurons leave the spinal cord at T1 and cross the apex of the lung to synapse at the superior cervical ganglion, so they may be vulnerable to chest, neck and thyroid conditions, especially tumors. Third-order neurons travel with the internal carotid artery through the cavernous sinus to the orbit with the third cranial nerve. Several conditions can disrupt third-order neurons, including otitis media and headache syndromes such as cluster and migraine. One review of 450 cases of Horner's syndrome reported that 8 percent were attributable to neoplasm. "

My eye droops some, but the Dr. said it was the third nerve palsy. I'll be interested in seeing what the opththamologist has to say. Also I dug out my brain MRI and it lists hypoplasia, possibly developmental. All I can find is that it can have to do with an underdeveloped organ or body part.Does this mean I'm not all here???????????
By the way, I was going to let my husband make that chicken recipe. It must have taken him 10 minutes of thinking about that popcorn before he figured it out! Pat
