Default What was your first symptom of MG?

I'm really new to this. I went to the doctor because my eyelid was noticeably drooping. I must say that I think it has always drooped a little, but in the past month it has gotten significantly worse. Even my 7 year old noticed on her own. I have also noticed I've been getting headaches, which could also be because I drink too much coffee. So my doctor told me that he thinks I have MG, and he is referring me to a Neuro-ophthalmologist. I had never heard of it before this week. So I'm just curious, what was your first symptom? I'm worried but skeptical because I don't think I have enough symptoms for this to be what's wrong. There are so many possible symptoms and I only have one. I'm including a picture of eyes taken when it was drooping. Some days it's better than others. Thanks for the help.
