I was thinking, if this works, this would be great for family photos,------ "wait, hold that picture taking, I need to get my Icepack!" {{{LMAO}}} :-)


I used a regular icepack from my freezer, and gently pressed it on the right side of my face/ eye area for 3 minutes.

Do you know the specifics of the "clinical" icepack tests that Nueros Do? --- do you hold the icepack over the whole face or only where the ptosis is presenting? --how long are you "supposed" to leave the icepack on your face?

I just read an article that says to hold the ice pack on the affected area for approx. 2 minutes.
Hope this helps

I'm no expert - but I closed my eye and held the ice over the levator muscle for about a minute and the lid springs back upon opening the eye.

I wondered if I was doing right as well. I googled the ice test for myasthenia and found a video. It seemed like that was what they were doing in the video. Hope this helps.

You'll need to be quick with the camera though - the effect only lasts a few minutes
