Iīve had this very rarely and it surprises me that it should come at the end of a progression of myasthenic muscle sets to be involved and not at the beginning.

The left eye lid will droop just a little – itīs definitely mild, but it feels like more than just the eyelid is affected – around the cheek and eyebrow seem involved as well. One side of the face feels a bit like night and the other like day. I know itīs not a stroke as itīs fluctuating and will go away with a cooler breeze/change to a cooler room.

Does ptosis affect a larger area than just the eye itself?

Thanks

Sounds like you are experiencing facial weakness in addition to ptosis. They commonly go together.

Sorry. `

I canīt believe it! It started at a party a couple of days ago after standing on my feet too long!

Thanks for answering so quick

Dear friend, well, thats exactlt what always happens to my face! Ptosis never comes alone here, I always have ptosis (1 side way more visible then other) accompanied by weak cheeks and no expression. Most of the time it's one side thats looks almost normal, the other side is weak and weird (stroke like).

Does yours feel a bit numb on the affected side and like something is pulling on the cheek (thatīs the only way I can describe it I think)

I don't feel anything with my ptosis. If it is severe enough it will obstruct my vision. Other than that, I can only tell that I have it by looking in the mirror. Well that and by noticing that people are staring at my eyes and then they look away when I notice....

OK thanks So no sensation - good to know....

Well, I dont really feel the ptosis, I only know because I just see a little less or because I see myself in the mirror (or someone says, what are you doing?)
But because its always accomplied by weak facial muscles overall, cheecks, lips, etc, I do feel it. Because it feels.... I dont really know how to describe it. Something between thight, heavy, unmovable, weird, like my face is going to fall off a bit. Like Im wearing a mask, kind of.

That really is an EXCELLENT description...Thanks and - see you soon
(Your mood is still hungover???!!!!)

I occasionally get a little tingling and decreased sensation on the one side of my face with ptosis but it is rare. But all the muscles on the one side of my face seem a little droopy. I only have dimples on one side of my face!
