Hi Shannon!

On ptosis...I didn't think I had it b/c my eyes don't look anything like 'the pictures'. But my neuro said I did and showed me how to determine. For me it's like this...Look at your eyes in a mirror when you are winding down on Mestinon. Pay particular attention to where your eyelid naturally falls on your eye (iris or pupil) Then take your dosage and take another look at your eyes about 20 - 30 minutes later.

It was strange because without me feeling ANY difference, I went from eyelids covering all of iris and about 1/4 of pupil to eyelids just resting on the top of my iris.

For me, both my eyes are more or less equally effected - which is why no one really noticed before! Now even my hubby knows when I need a pill...and is quick to point it out!!

Hope this helps.... Sue
