I was diagnosed with Horner's syndrome 2 days ago. They did an MRI and I don't have a brain tumor nor lung cancer. I'm a 57 year old woman. I had a droopy eye 4 years ago, but since my car accident August 06, it has gotten a lot droopier. My vision is obstructed when I drive. I believe my cartoid artery was damaged in the accident. I was at a stop sign and got rear-ended. Since then, I've had constant headaches - tried acupuncture, chiropractors and deep massage therapy, nothing makes it go away.
I was wondering if you think Horner's syndrome could have been caused by the accident and the damaged artery? Also, because I have this, what happens to my eye and/or any part of my body??? I want to know what is going to happen. Am I going to go blind or what?
Thank you very much. Any info. will be appreciated.

I have it too. Doubt you'll go blind. It's just annoying. I wish mine would clear up but doubt it will. Drives me nuts at times. It can be kind of sore at times too. Mine was caused by vertabral artery dissection or they think it was caused by a mini stroke from my pulmonary embolisms after delivering my baby. None the less, I have to deal with it. There's just nothing they can do for it anyway. Hope things get better for you. :)
