Default MG and eyebrow ptosis?

Hi All,

I know that MG is associated with eyeLID ptosis, but has anyone ever had or heard of a documented case of MG with only eyebrow ptosis?

I saw my optometrist today and she says that I clearly have ptosis, but it is eyebrow NOT eyelid. She says that the muscles in my forehead are weak. They slide down pushing on my eyebrow causing ptosis. My eyes and eyelid muscles are fine. She says that this is caused by aging. She reviewed my photos and the first sign of it occurred in 1998. I was only 21 years old.

This does not seem like it would make an MG diagnosis any easier and yet I am struggling to come up with anything else that fits ALL of my other symptoms.

Thanks,
Lindie
