Default Other causes of ptosis?

Hi! Hope everyone is surviving the heat snaps and various natural didasters

I was wondering if it is possible to have some other nerve condition causing ptosis in one eye?

I'm only on prednisone currently and it helped with the droop for about a month, but then it started to come back - even before starting any sort of taper from my highest dose.

My dad and brother both have "bedroom eyes", but I would think a predisposition for drooping upper lids would appear in both eyes, and this is definitely just my right eye.

Can steroids stop working on MG even if they previously seemed to help?
