    And it hurt. But don't worry i didnt cry. I just dontthink the drops had had enough time to work yet.

    So soon my eyes will both be looking in the same direction again! Exciting times people.

    Wow, hang in there. I hope it all works out.

    My JW brother gets botox injection in his vocal cords every six or eight weeks to make them relax. (His voice is his living, and without the injections he loses his voice.) He's been getting them for two years or so, with no bad side-effects. (Insurance will not pay for them. Each injection is $600.)

    Does this treatment treat crossed eyes, or something? Hope for the best for you!

    I've had eye muscle surgery ... where they detach it from the eyeball and reattach it in a bit different position. Damn that was painful.

    You have my sympathies!
