Since I have gotten older/heavier the mirror is no longer my best friend and the selfie trend I have avoided.
I have tested positive for ACHr antibodies and have a myriad of symptoms but I have not begun saying I have MG. I reserved this as I thought I had no signs of ocular issues. Even though I can't see with or with out my glasses and I often get double vision while watching TV. I also spent April thru August with a frontal lobe head pressure they decided to call a migrain. Anyway, while spending some face time in the mirror shaving off my mustache and beard, I noticed my eye was odd. Nobody has mentioned it before other than to say I have squinty eyes. I think from viewing online pictures of ptosis that I may have some lazitude in my right eye. Am I allowed to post a photo and have ya'll give me an opinion? |

I just received a reminder call from my appointment to the neuro-opthamologist that they made for me back in July. I had forgotten all about that. It is for Wednesday, the 30th.
How coincidental? The migrains really mess with my short term memory. I'm excited now! |

I thought it was one of those thing you could just tell. I am without injury or allergy so I thought some one in the know of such conditions would be able to have a confident yay or nay.

You are seeing the right Dr. A neuro-opto gave me my first DX even after my MG bloodwork was neg.

Hi Bakerman
Ptosis is a very common sign of MG, affecting about 65% of people with it; https://medicine.yale.edu/neurology/...scular/mg.aspx. I hope that your meeting with the neuro-ophthalmologist goes well .
