Something I keep reading here is that it is possible to have two or more "conditions" causing different symptoms. This has really opened my eyes(no pun intended) :-p

It seems that many Doctors stop looking at other possible reasons/disorders after we are "diagnosed."

I have Diplopia and severe Esotropia+Ptosis only around my right eye. I take 180mg/day Pyridostigmine Bromide (Mestinon) and it REALLY helps with both my Diplopia and ESOTROPIA (crossed eye).

Although, by 6-7pm the Mestinon really putters out, so I might need to increase my dose.

May I ask, how long and how much Pyridostigmine Bromide did you take before you realized it did not help with your Diplopia?

Here is some information that really helped me understand how/why my Ocular-neurologist was able to diagnose me:
