The other thing you can do is rest.
When ever my left eye starts to drop that is my queue I need to slow down. Don't keep pushing until the remainder of your body becomes weak. Start listening to your body signals--that is one of them.
I didn't develop the droppy eye until later either. I had weakness in my arms and legs and jaw and neck, but not my eyes. Now, my eyelid is the first muscle to get weak and it my queue to slow down.

Cold feels good. Anything else I should know? One of the reasons I'm a "puzzle" and an "enigma" is that I didn't present with eye symptoms. My first symptom was trouble keeping my balance. I am a more typical myasthenic now--and I am really, really hoping my lastest antibodies test comes out positive so I can get a diagnosis already. It's been a year.
