I have had OMG since 1962. For many years my symptoms have been a slightly drooping right lid and some ptosis in both eyes. Since I have adapted to these things my docs and I agreed that I should not take immunosuppressants since the side effects could be worse than my symptoms. However, over the last few weeks, the drooping eyelid has gotten significantly worse to the point that at times the lid won't open at all.

I also have type 2 diabetes, which means that prednisone is usually contraindicated because in can raise the blood sugar levels. I have appointments coming up with my docs to discuss whether we should try a small dosage of prednisone while carefully monitoring my blood sugar.

I was wondering if anyone here has the same problem and how it was handled.
