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.

I am not sure whether I should congratulate you because this will help with a diagnosis, or if I should feel bad because I hated the ptosis, mine is mostly gone now. For me, a cool wet cloth helped more than anything besides adjusting the Mestinon dose.
When I had ptosis, I couldn't open my eyes all the way nor could I close them, watch out for dry eyes. I slept with a cool cloth on my eyes to help avoid dry eyes.
I hope you get a diagnosis soon.
